Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has announced a major milestone in its quest for energy reliability following the successful completion of an infrastructure upgrade by Italian oil and gas giant ENI, which has raised the country’s gas supply from 245 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) to 270 MMscfd.
“This enhancement in gas supply is a significant step towards ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply for the nation. The increased capacity will support the power sector and contribute to the overall economic growth of Ghana,” the Ministry stated in its press release on Monday, July 14, 2025.
The upgrade is expected to ease pressure on power producers and improve electricity delivery across the country by feeding into thermal power plants, stabilizing the national generation mix, and reducing reliance on expensive or environmentally unfriendly fuel sources.
Spokesperson and Head of Communication at the Ministry, Richmond Rockson, emphasized the government’s long-term vision, saying, “We remain committed to transforming the energy sector into a modern, resilient system capable of meeting both current and future demand.”
Rockson also expressed appreciation to ENI and sector stakeholders for their collaboration, as well as to citizens for their patience during the implementation phase, adding, “Citizen cooperation remains vital to the country’s energy transition efforts.”
Ghana continues to prioritise natural gas as a transitional fuel within its energy mix, with infrastructure upgrades like ENI’s seen as crucial to achieving energy security, supporting industrial growth, and driving economic development in the medium to long term.
