No need for fear and panic, we have enough LPG – NPA assures

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has stated that there is enough Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the country.

According to the authority, it does not anticipate any shortage, hence no need for fear and panic.

“There is adequate LPG in the country to meet national demand. The opening stock of LPG as of 9th October 2024 was enough to last almost two weeks of national consumption. In addition to this, the Sentuo Oil Refinery is also producing LPG, which serves the market daily” a statement released by the NPA said.

It added that more than 20,000 metric tonnes of LPG is scheduled to be delivered between 21st and 27th October 2024 under LPG Tender programme.

Giving some reasons for recent shortage in supply, the NPA said the Western and parts of the Central Region which are supplied with LPG from the Ghana National Gas Processing Plant in Atuabo encountered some challenges.
