The government has approved plans to build a second gas processing plant to address Ghana’s persistent energy shortfalls, Energy Minister John Jinapor has announced.
Speaking at the Jubilee House on Friday, March 7, Mr. Jinapor highlighted the urgency of enhancing energy security and ensuring a stable power supply.
He revealed that Cabinet, in collaboration with the Finance Ministry, has endorsed several strategic measures, including the immediate construction of the new facility to bridge supply gaps and reinforce the country’s power infrastructure.
