Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, the Deputy Minister of Energy, has said the significant progress made by government in gas infrastructure will ensure the full utilisation of the country's indigenous gas.
He said the infrastructure included the completion of phase one of the Takoradi-Tema Interconnection project, which would allow the country to flow up to 60 MMscfd of Ghanaian gas from the West to the East.
Another infrastructure, he said, was the successful completion of the relocation of the Karpowership from Tema to Takoradi with other accompanying infrastructure such as 330V power transmission line and a 10 kilometre gas pipeline to allow switching from Heavy Fuel Oil for powership and saving about 100million dollars per annum in fuel costs.
