Ghana National Gas Limited has announced that the unplanned reduction in natural gas supply to the power generation companies had been resolved.
According to the gas supply company, the unfortunate situation was caused by an upset on their on-site power generation system, causing a temporary shutdown of the Atuabo Gas Processing plant last Friday.
This culminated in about a 30% reduction in the gas supply “we deliver to our downstream power and non-power customers.”
In a press statement, the Head of Corporate Affairs of Ghana Gas, Ernest Owusu Bempah, indicated that their engineers and third party contractors worked assiduously to restore normal operations in five hours.
During the five-hour outage, Ghana Gas, according to the statement, made alternative arrangements for emergency mobile power generation units to enable natural gas to be transported to various power generation companies to mitigate the unexpected situation.
“We would like to reassure the general that the Atuabo gas processing plant was restarted at 5:30pm on Friday 7th July and has since been in full and uninterrupted operation.”
Ghana Gas policy of continuous improvement of our processes enables us to strengthen our business as the strategic partner of the various power generation companies serving the people of Ghana.”
