The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, is appealing to the West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) to consider accepting a down payment and a tentative payment plan to settle its outstanding debt of about $75 million.
According to him, the current economic situation of the country would not permit a full payment of the debt owed WAPCo, which had threatened to cut gas supplies to Ghana after completing its pigging operation in early March.
WAPCo is currently conducting a comprehensive pigging operation-cleaning and inspecting its offshore pipeline-to ensure the system's safety and efficiency.
The operation involves launching Pipeline Inspection Gauges (PIGs) from Tema to Takoradi to clean and assess the pipeline's interior.
