The CEO of Ghana National Gas Company, Judith Adjobah Blay, is pushing for a higher transmission tariff to keep the country’s energy infrastructure running smoothly.
During a visit from the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant on Friday, April 24, 2026, she explained that more funding is essential for plant repairs and future growth.
She believes that updated pricing will allow the company to maintain its equipment properly and provide a steady flow of gas for electricity. Without these adjustments, the facility might struggle to remain reliable.
“It’s very necessary that we at Ghana Gas go to the PURC to convince them of certain expenditures and investments that we’re doing that warrant an increase, especially in our transmission tariffs,” She said.
Madam Blay warned that the risks of underfunding far outweigh the cost of a small price hike. She emphasised that financial stability is the only way to prevent serious operational failures.
“If Ghana Gas does not have sufficient funds to operate and maintain the plant, the consequences will be far more dire than a slight increase in tariffs,” she stated.
