Full inauguration of Atuabo Processing Plant to delay


The planned full inauguration of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant to deliver 120 million  standard cubic feet of gas daily to the  Aboadze Power Enclave has not been  achieved by the deadline of December 31st 2014 by the operator, the Ghana National Gas Company, Ghana Gas.  

It is currently considering other options, which are to be made public in order not to run into additional cost after the  agreed  period in the contract.

Officials of Ghana Gas say full inauguration of the plant could be bonded to the  operational difficulties of the Volta River Authority, for which reason it had other plans to ensure that the program is completed to confirm the planned design capacity of the  processing plant.

The Head of Corporate Affairs of Ghana Gas,  Alfred Ogbame said the company had other plans to proceed with.  

He said  it is important to note that the   process could not be perpetual and that  it had to  end  somewhere per the contract.
