The Government of Ghana, through the Ghana National Gas Company Limited, is set to construct a second gas processing plant, popularly termed GPP2.
This was announced by the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, at the Africa Energy Forum as part of the 2025 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).
This significant announcement demonstrates the commitment of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama's government to making Ghana energy sufficient and a major player in the energy sector in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Ghana Gas Processing Plant (GPP1) was conceived, constructed, and operationalized by the late H.E. John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama.
Although there was a roadmap for the construction of the second phase, the immediate past administration failed to construct this critical infrastructure.
Upon assuming office, H.E. President John Dramani Mahama made a bold commitment to construct the GPP2.
The construction of GPP2 will create jobs for young, talented graduates and increase Ghana's energy sufficiency.
More importantly, it will boost the economy with a continuous supply of cheaper, reliable power for industrial usage, domestic consumption, and international supplies to neighboring countries.
