GM Corporate Affairs, Dr. Isaac Adjei Doku, said WAPCo engaged Environmental Protection Agencies and set up an effluent management system in Takoradi, Ghana, for handling pipeline cleaning waste.
He thanked the governments of Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, and Togo, along with maritime and regulatory authorities, for their support.Governments of Ghana, Togo, and Benin have secured key power plants amid gas supply changes from Nigeria.WAPCo’s scheduled maintenance includes pigging, in-line inspection of the 569 km offshore pipeline from Lagos to Takoradi, and replacing subsea valves at Tema and Cotonou for safety.From February 5 to March 2, 2025, some gas transportation services will be suspended, except for supplies from Nigeria to Takoradi, ensuring smooth maintenance operations.
Benin is preparing for liquid fuel use, especially in Tema, Ghana’s key energy hub.Tema generates about 1,000MW but needs at least 650MW to keep Ghana’s power grid stable.Without maintaining 650MW, Ghana’s grid risks collapse.WAPCo conducts inspections every five years or as needed to ensure WAGP’s safety and reliability.
It has engaged key stakeholders for project alignment and appreciates the support of Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo.WAPCo remains committed to active stakeholder engagement throughout the project.
