Energy Ministry denies signing deal with Genser Energy Ghana Limited

    The
    Energy Ministry has dismissed reports that it has signed a deal with Genser
    Energy Ghana Limited.

    The
    Ministry in a statement said the only deal signed with Genser is by the Ghana
    National Gas Company and the Ghana National Petroleum Commission which are on
    record.

    “The
    Minister wishes to state emphatically that neither he nor anyone else acting on
    behalf of the Ministry has signed any contract with Genser.”

    This
    comes after workers of the Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) expressed
    disapproval of the Energy Ministry’s alleged deal with Genser Energy Ghana
    Limited.

    They
    want President Akufo-Addo to halt the much-talked-about gas supply agreement
    with the energy company.

    The
    deal, the Ministry said is being investigated by the Parliamentary Committee on
    Mines and Energy.

    It
    added that the Ministry, Petroleum Commission and Energy Commission had
    investigated the matter and submitted a report to the President.

    Under
    the alleged deal, 50 million standard cubic feet of raw gas will be supplied
    per day to Genser Energy.

    But
    the Ghana Gas workers believe this agreement will spell doom for the survival
    of Ghana Gas and negatively affect the government’s vision of building a second
    gas processing plant.

    This,
    according to the workers, is because they are unhappy with the way the Minister
    of Energy, Matthew Opoku Prempeh is handling the issue of the concurrent
    existence of Genser Energy Ghana Limited’s Gas Condition Plant and Ghana Gas’
    Gas Processing Plant Train 2.
