Ghana National Gas Limited Company (Ghana Gas) has intensified efforts to attract international investment into the country’s energy sector, with its Chief Executive Officer, Judith Adjobah Blay, promoting Ghana’s growing energy investment opportunities at the ongoing Global Energy Show in Calgary, Canada.
Addressing participants at the global conference, Ms. Blay highlighted Ghana Gas’ critical role in supporting the country’s energy security and economic development.
She noted that the company currently supplies approximately 84 percent of the fuel used by Ghana’s thermal power plants, helping the nation achieve significant cost savings.
According to her, Ghana Gas contributes to annual savings of about US$1.3 billion in fuel costs, while its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) operations generate an additional US$60 million in savings.
She also underscored Ghana’s growing influence in regional energy integration through its collaboration with the West African Gas Pipeline, which has strengthened gas transmission across the sub-region and reinforced Ghana’s position as a key player in the West African gas market.
Major Infrastructure Projects Planned
Ms. Blay outlined several strategic projects designed to expand Ghana’s gas infrastructure and unlock new investment opportunities.
Among the initiatives are the development of a Second Gas Processing Plant (GPP II), the construction of a 300-kilometre onshore gas transmission pipeline, and the Pentane Monetization Project.
She explained that these projects are expected to enhance gas processing capacity, improve energy reliability and reduce hydrocarbon flaring, supporting the company’s broader environmental sustainability objectives.
The Ghana Gas CEO described Ghana as an attractive destination for long-term energy investments, citing the country’s stable political environment, robust legal framework and strategic geographic location.
She stressed that continued investment in the natural gas sector would not only strengthen Ghana’s energy security but also support industrial growth, job creation and economic transformation.
Her presentation comes at a time when Ghana is seeking to expand its energy infrastructure, increase domestic gas utilisation and position itself as a leading energy hub in West Africa.
The Global Energy Show is one of the world's leading energy conferences, bringing together policymakers, investors and industry leaders to discuss emerging opportunities and trends across the global energy sector.
Ghana’s participation is expected to boost investor interest in the country’s expanding gas industry and future infrastructure projects.
