President Mahama says the second gas processing unit at Anochi in the Western Region will save Ghana about $1 billion a year. The project, whose works have begun, will reduce dependence on imported liquid fuels for power generation, according to MyJoyOnline.
Ghanaian President John Mahama says Ghana could save up to $1 billion a year through the construction of its second gas processing plant, known as GPP II. Work has started under the auspices of the Ministries of Energy and Green Transitions and of Finance, he said.
Located at Anochi in the Western Region, the facility is intended to reduce the country’s dependence on imported liquid fuels to generate electricity. The head of state was speaking at the local content conference and exhibition organised by the Petroleum Commission, the regulator of the oil and gas sector. He called for wider participation by Ghanaian companies and workers in the industry, and for securing upstream investments to guarantee long-term domestic gas supplies.
