The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has denied responsibility for the country’s recent power outages, claiming that it has paid its debts to the West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCO) and has even stepped up to prevent gas supply interruptions on multiple occasions.
GNPC confirmed in a statement made on October 30, 2023, that it is a counterparty to the Gas Transportation Agreement (GTA) with WAPCO for the transportation of gas to power plants, and that WAPCO directly bills GNPC.
Any findings that GNPC was responsible for the non-payment of money to WAPCO, resulting in the restriction of gas supply and the power supply difficulties, were condemned as “incorrect and misleading” by GNPC.
