Ernest Owusu Bempah, the head of corporate communications for Ghana Gas, announced that the Gas Processing Plant (GPP) and offshore Gas Export Facilities will be closed from August 1 to 17, 2024.

During a press briefing on Thursday, August 1, 2024, he explained that the shutdown is necessary for critical safety and essential maintenance works to improve the plant's operational efficiency and ensure uninterrupted gas supply.

“We need to perform critical maintenance on the gas infrastructure. It is crucial that we adhere to protocols to ensure the facility's operational activities run smoothly,” Bempah stated.

He emphasized the importance of maintaining the plant's lifespan and efficiency through proper maintenance procedures.
