The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has announced a significant enhancement to Ghana’s domestic natural gas supply, following a new agreement with energy giant ENI to ramp up production by an additional 30 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd).

Effective Sunday, July 13, 2025, ENI’s total gas supply to the country will rise to 270 MMscfd.

The Ministry described the development as a strategic intervention aimed at strengthening Ghana’s energy infrastructure and improving supply reliability.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry noted that the output increase would require a temporary suspension of ENI’s gas exports to allow full prioritisation of domestic demand.

“This temporary measure is essential for optimising the supply chain and ensuring the successful implementation of the supply increase,” the statement explained.

While the Ministry acknowledged the potential for short-term impacts on power generation due to the reallocation of gas resources, it assured the public that adequate mitigation measures have been put in place to minimise any disruptions to the electricity supply.

The boost in gas production is expected to bolster energy security, support industrial operations, and advance the government’s energy transition agenda.
