The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Minister John Jinapor, has disclosed that Cabinet has approved plans for the construction of a second gas processing plant to address the country’s energy shortfalls.
He made the disclosure at a press conference on Friday, March 7, 2025.
Mr. Jinapor told the journalists that Cabinet has approved a raft of measures aimed at tackling Ghana’s energy challenges in the short, medium, and long term.
“Cabinet has approved that in partnership with the Finance Ministry we take immediate steps in constructing a second gas processing plant. This gas processing plant will augment the shortfall and increase supply security,” he said.
Meanwhile, the minister has also indicated that there was no need for the publication of a load-shedding timetable amid recent intermittent power outages.
He stated that Ghana has sufficient power supply and is exporting approximately 300 megawatts of electricity to neighbouring countries, including Benin and Burkina Faso.
“As we speak, we’re exporting about 300 megawatts of power outside Ghana to Benin, Burkina Faso, and other neighbouring countries. If you have enough and you are exporting power, obviously there will be no need to publish a timetable.”
