What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ghana announced plans to stop procuring liquid fuels for power generation next year, replacing them with domestic gas and imports from Nigeria. The country expects to double the gas volumes supplied by Nigeria through the West African Gas Pipeline under current agreements. Ghana reported saving approximately $500 million in a single year through this import substitution. Senegal also participated in the forum, discussing how it balances its LNG exports with domestic supply.

Ghana's shift to gas is driven by growing electricity demand, which is increasing about 10% annually. The increased gas supply from Nigeria strengthens regional energy cooperation in West Africa. Ghana's gas policy prioritizes using gas for power generation before directing it to industry.
