Inadequate LPG storage tanks pose challenges, says NPA’s Abass Tasunti

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has shed light on the challenges facing the supply and storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Ghana.

In an interview on Joy News’ PM Express Business Edition on Thursday, October 4, Abass Ibrahim Tasunti, Director of Regulation and Planning at the NPA, emphasised the shortage of adequate storage tanks for LPG as a key reason behind occasional supply delays.

He explained that the NPA’s role involves continuous monitoring of stock levels, ensuring that the country always has reserves.

However, he admitted that while there are reserves, they aren’t always sufficient to meet demand.

“The issue was about access to the product. As I said, the reserve was in the tank. It was just signing off to say that we have agreed on the quantities that were discharged that caused a delay in selling the product today, for example,” he stated.
