The new government will require a total of $89.90 million to procure liquid fuel in the absence of natural gas.
This is necessary to enable electricity power generation companies in the country to produce adequate power for consumption.
The West Africa Gas Pipeline Company (WAGP), which supplies natural gas to the country, is scheduled to undergo a major maintenance work, known as pigging, and will be unable to supply gas to Ghana for nearly one month.
In a statement issued by the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), the maintenance of the gas pipelines from Nigeria to Ghana by WAGP was initially set to take place in October 2024.
