The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Gas Company Limited Ghana National Gas Company Limited, Judith Adjobah Blay, has positioned Ghana as a rising energy investment hub while courting international investors at the Global Energy Show in Calgary, Canada.

Addressing energy executives and investors at one of the world’s leading industry conferences, Ms. Blay highlighted Ghana Gas’ central role in strengthening national energy security, supporting industrial growth, and advancing regional gas integration across West Africa.

She said Ghana’s natural gas infrastructure continues to play a critical role in power generation and industrial supply, making the country an increasingly attractive destination for energy investments.

Ms. Blay revealed that Ghana Gas currently supplies about 84% of fuel used by thermal power plants, which contribute roughly 60% of Ghana’s electricity generation mix. She added that this has resulted in significant cost savings, including an estimated US$1.3 billion annually in fuel savings and an additional US$60 million from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) supply.

She also highlighted the contribution of Ghana’s gas processing infrastructure, noting that facilities developed by SINOPEC in partnership with Canada’s Thermo Design Engineering Ltd. produce condensates used in premix fuel production for the fisheries sector, reducing government subsidies by more than 60%.

On regional integration, she pointed to Ghana Gas’ collaboration with the West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited, which has enabled bidirectional gas flow between Takoradi and Tema since 2018, transforming Ghana from a gas-importing endpoint into an active regional gas transit hub.

Ms. Blay further disclosed Ghana’s participation in the proposed African Atlantic Gas Pipeline project, which is expected to link Nigeria and Morocco through several African countries, including Ghana, opening new opportunities for cross-border energy trade and infrastructure development.

She stressed that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) remains central to Ghana’s long-term energy security strategy, noting that future investments would depend on affordability, commercial viability, and stable tariff structures.

Outlining future expansion plans, she announced projects including a second gas processing plant (GPP II), a 300-kilometre onshore transmission pipeline, and the Pentane Monetisation Project aimed at eliminating gas flaring and improving environmental sustainability.

Ms. Blay said Ghana offers a stable and attractive investment climate supported by strong legal frameworks, an independent judiciary, and predictable market conditions, adding that the country’s strategic location positions it as a future gas transit hub for West Africa.

She concluded by reaffirming Ghana Gas’ commitment to expanding infrastructure, deepening regional partnerships, and enhancing energy security.
