Report by Edward FRIMPONGIn conjunction with Ghana Grid Company Ltd (GRIDCo) and Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to collaborate with other stakeholders in the power value chain to optimise available resources to ensure minimal impact of the reduction in gas supply on consumers, the West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) in a statement, has explained that the reduction in gas supply was due to maintenance works being undertaken by a gas supplier in Nigeria and is projected to last three (3) weeks.Feeling remorseful to announce that WAPCo is experiencing a drop in gas volumes available for transportation due to ongoing maintenance works by one of its gas producers in Nigeria, one of the producers of the natural gas WAPCo transports from Nigeria has shut down its facility for a three week maintenance, resulting in a decrease of gas available for WAPCo to transport to customers in Togo, Benin and Ghana.However, the current situation which has caused a reduction in overall power generation capacity in Ghana which could result in load management over the period of the work is entirely out of WAPCo’s control.
As GRIDCo and ECG sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused, WAPCo is in high expectation of normalcy to continue to transport gas from the western region of Ghana to tema, also in Ghana after the maintenance activities.
