BDCs lobby NPA for regional fuel depots amid concerns over BOST’s role

The emerging debate, therefore, centres on whether Ghana should continue to consolidate its petroleum storage and strategic reserve infrastructure around state-owned facilities or allow greater private-sector participation through a network of regional depots.

The NPA is therefore expected to weigh the potential benefits of increased private investment against the need to preserve BOST’s strategic role and ensure adequate oversight of Ghana’s petroleum storage infrastructure.

BOST remains an important component of Ghana’s petroleum storage and strategic reserve system, making its commercial and operational sustainability a key consideration in any decision to expand private storage capacity.
