The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has announced a significant enhancement to Ghana’s domestic natural gas supply.
A new agreement with energy giant ENI will see an additional 30 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas production, effective Sunday, July 13, 2025. This brings ENI’s total gas supply to the country to 270 MMscfd.
The Ministry described the development as a strategic intervention aimed at strengthening Ghana’s energy infrastructure and improving supply reliability. The move is expected to bolster energy security, support industrial operations, and advance the government’s energy transition agenda.
To facilitate the increase in domestic gas supply, ENI will temporarily suspend its gas exports. This measure is essential for optimising the supply chain and ensuring the successful implementation of the supply increase. The Ministry acknowledged the potential for short-term impacts on power generation due to the reallocation of gas resources but assured the public that adequate mitigation measures have been put in place to minimise any disruptions to the electricity supply.
The Ministry is confident that the boost in gas production will have a positive impact on the country’s energy sector. The government is committed to ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply to support industrial operations and advance the country’s energy transition agenda.
