According to Dr. Ben K.D. Asante, the CEO of Ghana National Gas Limited Company, his company has saved the country $250 million since 2017 by employing over 1,000 people, indigenizing operations at its gas processing plant, and giving local engineers vital skills.
He continued by saying that Ghana Gas Limited Company currently supplies 20% of the country’s total thermal capacity thanks to infrastructure like the Anokyi Mainline Compressor Station and the Karpowership Gas Pipeline, guaranteeing dependable power for households and businesses nationwide.
Speaking at the Minister’s Press Briefing in Accra was Dr. Ben K.D. Asante, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said since 2017, the company has shown its dedication to developing local expertise and promoting national development.
According to Dr. Ben Asante, Ghana Gas completely indigenized the operations and maintenance of its Gas Processing Plant (GPP) and related pipelines in April 2017. This initiative has also resulted in the creation of numerous jobs, including contract and permanent positions.

“Post-indigenization, we have completed three major shutdowns and maintenance projects and achieved ISO 45001: 2018 certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems”, the CEO added.
He said Ghana Gas is also working toward environmental management system ISO 14001 certification.
