    The West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) issued a press release to clarify that it did not experience any technical issues and had the capacity to transport gas, contrary to reports by Ghana's electricity and gas companies. WAPCo transports gas based on agreements with shippers who purchase gas from suppliers and sell it to off-takers like power companies. The issue was that Ghana's national gas processing plant went offline, so there was no gas available for WAPCo to transport. WAPCo's pipelines and facilities were fully operational and available to deliver gas as requested.

    PRESS RELEASE
    For Immediate Release

    WAGP HAS NO TECHNICAL ISSUES AND AVAILABLE TO TRANSPORT GAS


    SATURDAY JULY 8, 2023, Accra - The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited’s (WAPCo’s),
    attention has been drawn to press releases issued by GRIDCo citing limited gas supply from
    WAPCo and from the Electricity Company of Ghana citing a WAPCo technical challenge as
    contributing to the power challenge experienced in Ghana last night.

    WAPCo wishes to set the record straight that we did not have any technical issues and our
    facilities were, and still are, fully available to deliver gas.

    WAPCo transports gas based on its agreements with Gas shippers. These Shippers purchase Gas
    from Gas suppliers, transport the gas via WAPCo pipelines, and sell the natural gas to Gas Off
    takers (mainly power companies). When the agreed volume of gas is made available, WAPCo
    dutifully transports it to the shipper’s customers. The challenge yesterday was that the Ghana
    National Gas Company’s plant at Atuabo went down and therefore there was no gas available for
    WAPCo to transport.
