Second gas plant could ease pressure on electricity tariffs – Ghana Gas

Ghana’s planned second gas processing plant could help ease pressure on electricity tariffs by increasing the availability of natural gas for power generation, the Ghana Gas Company has said. General Manager for Engineering and Maintenance at Ghana Gas, Ing. Maxwell Kwame Kelly, said although electricity costs could continue to rise as the country’s energy needs expand, greater access to natural gas could reduce the pace of future tariff increases. “Obviously, as you grow as a country, things will go up. But the rates at which things will go up will be reduced, yes,” he said.
