We’re working to reduce price of LPG – NPA

In a town hall meeting on the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) in Tamale, she mentioned that discussions are underway between the NPA, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Finance to consider reducing taxes on LPG.

“For the price of LPG, like I said in my speech, the NPA in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Ministry of Finance are having discussions so that we reduce the taxes on LPG.

In addition to that, even before the reduction of the taxes NPA has gone ahead to have a tender which has reduced the supplier’s premium of LPGs that are imported into the country.

“Although we have the local refinery and Ghana National Gas, that produces gas, the price is always perked to the international market.

So, the most important thing that we’ve been able to achieve now is to make sure that the cost of CRM, the policy doesn’t increase the price of getting access to LPG.
