The commissioning process of the gas infrastructure project will be completed by the end of January, 2015, the Ghana Gas Company has said.
A press statement signed by the Board Chairman of the company, Dr. Kwesi Botchwey on Monday, indicated that the company is taking measures to address challenges that could hinder the efficiency of the facility.

All things being equal, we now expect that the commissioning process will be significantly concluded by the end of January 2015,” it noted.
In a related development, consumers of electricity might see some improvement in power supply in the coming days as the Ghana Gas Company is also making moves to increase its off-take of raw gas from the Jubilee Field’s FPSO Kwame Nkrumah.
According to the statement, Ghana Gas “will supply VRA lean gas at the optimal 120 million standard cubic feet per day(120MMSCFD)” as soon as the VRA completes the requisite works at its Aboadze Thermal Plant complex.
It further revealed that the Atuabo Processing Plant is operating satisfactorily to supply the VRA with lean gas for power production.
“The GPP is operating satisfactorily to supply the Volta River Authority (VRA) with lean gas for power production, and to produce Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as well as other condensates for the downstream market.:”
