The government has set a strict four-week deadline for the submission of the implementation plan for Ghana’s Second Gas Processing Plant (GPP II) project, as the country works to reduce its reliance on costly imported liquid fuels.
The move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen Ghana’s energy security, lower fuel costs, and stimulate job creation.
According to the Deputy Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Richard Gyan-Mensah, who also chairs the technical committee for GPP Phase II, full-scale implementation will begin immediately after the committee’s plan is submitted.
The government is pressing ahead with urgency as Ghana is projected to spend over $1 billion this year on imported liquid fuels — a cost burden on both the economy and citizens.
GPP II is designed to expand on the success of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant, which has been instrumental in stabilizing energy supply across the country.
“Atuabo Gas has been a lifeline for Ghana. GPP II will be a game-changer for our energy security, economic stability, and national welfare. We are committed to getting it done,” Gyan-Mensah noted.
