The West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) has agreed to postpone its scheduled pipeline maintenance for two weeks, averting a potential power crisis in Ghana.
The decision follows concerns raised by the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) about the impact of the maintenance on the country’s electricity supply, particularly amid ongoing fuel shortages.
The postponement will allow authorities more time to secure alternative fuel supplies and stabilize power generation.
The maintenance of the WAPCo pipeline is crucial for the supply of natural gas to Ghana, and any disruption can significantly impact the country’s power generation capacity.
The government is working to expedite fuel imports, including light crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG), to mitigate the impact of the gas supply shortfall.
