Ghana is seeking to expand its natural gas infrastructure to support electricity generation and industrial growth after the state-owned Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) delivered strong operational and financial results in 2025, Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor has said.
Speaking at the company’s eighth Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Accra, Jinapor said the government would continue to work with Ghana Gas to strengthen its capacity and position it as a key driver of Ghana’s energy transition.
The minister said Ghana Gas had increased gas processing volumes from 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) to 130 MMscfd during the year under review, while also raising Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) production and recording a 97% increase in net profit.
According to Jinapor, the performance demonstrates the strategic role of natural gas in securing reliable electricity supply and supporting industrial development under the government’s Gas-to-Power agenda.
“Ghana Gas delivered strong results, recording growth in gas processing and LPG production, alongside an impressive 97 percent increase in net profit. These achievements reaffirm the Company’s vital role in strengthening Ghana’s energy security and supporting the Government’s Gas-to-Power agenda,” he said.
Despite the strong performance, Jinapor urged the company to sustain its momentum by investing in critical gas infrastructure, improving operational reliability and pursuing strategic investments capable of meeting Ghana’s rising energy demand.
He said a resilient gas sector would be essential to accelerating industrialisation, creating jobs and supporting sustainable economic growth as Ghana pursues a cleaner and more efficient energy mix.
The minister assured the Board and management of the government’s continued support, saying the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition would work closely with Ghana Gas to strengthen its operational capacity and expand its contribution to the country’s long-term energy strategy.
Jinapor also commended the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition for strengthening oversight of state-owned enterprises, saying effective governance remained critical to improving accountability and corporate performance.
The company’s external auditors, KPMG, reported that Ghana Gas had maintained sound financial management while reducing operational costs and improving efficiency, reinforcing the company’s positive financial outlook.
The AGM brought together shareholders to approve the company’s 2025 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements and to review its strategic direction as Ghana seeks to expand the use of natural gas to improve energy security and support economic development.
