Gas supply to thermal plants in Tema from Nigeria, as well as the reverse flow of gas from Takoradi to Tema, will be disrupted due to ongoing maintenance by the West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo).
In a joint statement, the Ghana Grid Company Ltd. (GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) announced that WAPCo has begun maintenance work on the gas pipeline transporting natural gas from Nigeria to Ghana. The maintenance, scheduled from February 5 to March 2, 2025, includes pipeline cleaning—commonly known as “pigging”—and the replacement of sub-sea equipment.
“This temporary suspension of gas supply will force thermal plants in Tema to shut down due to the unavailability of gas,” the statement noted. To minimize disruptions, the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, in collaboration with stakeholders, has secured alternative liquid fuel for some dual-fuel generating plants in Tema to maintain power supply during the maintenance period.
