The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has reaffirmed its commitment to energy transformation and regional integration with the unveiling of a forward-looking gas strategy at the 2025 West Africa Gas Summit in Accra.
Delivering a presentation on the theme “GNPC’s Vision and Role in the Gas Sector,” Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Finance, Administration and Commerce, Hamis Ussif, outlined the Corporation’s evolving role in Ghana’s gas sector and its broader vision for West Africa’s energy future. He made a strong call for strategic partnerships and investment in infrastructure.
“GNPC sees gas not just as a fuel, but as the bridge to a more resilient, inclusive, and prosperous energy future for Ghana and the sub-region,” Mr. Ussif said.
“Natural gas is the unsung hero of our energy narrative—quietly powering industries, homes, and opportunities.”
He urged energy actors and policymakers across the region to recognise the immense potential of natural gas for energy security and economic transformation.
Mr. Ussif emphasised GNPC’s vision to become a globally respected oil and gas company, delivering operations that improve the quality of life for Ghanaians.
He explained that GNPC’s growing gas portfolio is critical not only for meeting domestic energy needs but also for supporting industrialisation, reducing electricity costs, and advancing Ghana’s ambition to become a regional energy hub.
Ghana currently supplies about 425 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMscfd), sourced from the Jubilee and TEN fields, the Sankofa-Gye Nyame field, and imports from Nigeria. This gas supports nearly 70% of the country’s electricity generation.
