The LPG Marketers Association has denied claims of a product shortage in the market.
During an interview with Channel One News, the Association’s president, Gabriel Kumi, stated that there is sufficient gas to meet consumer demand despite the scheduled maintenance shutdown of Atuabo Gas starting next Monday.
He clarified that all marketers have been notified about the upcoming shutdown of the Atuabo Gas plant, but alternative bulk distributors in Tema have adequate supply for the upcoming weeks.
Kumi assured consumers that there will be no shortage of LPG in the weeks and months ahead.
“To the best of our knowledge, there’s no shortage of LPG in the system. I’m sure when you go around to the gas stations in the country, you’ll realise that all the gas stations are having products, we are serving consumers. What has really happened is that you know we take our 50% of our LPG from Atuabo Gas Processing Plant.”
“We had information from our regulator that the Gas Processing Plant is going to shut down for about 2–3 weeks for routine maintenance and so that’s going to be done from Monday [August 5]. But we have more than enough stock in Tema. So consumers should be rest assured, there’s not going to be any shortage of LPG in the system in the coming weeks and months.”
