Ghana Gas Schedules Five-Hour Atuabo Plant Shutdown for Critical System Restoratifon
Ghana National Gas Company has announced a planned five-hour shutdown of its Gas Processing Plant at Atuabo on Monday as it moves to complete emergency restoration works on a key control system critical to plant operations. The temporary outage is scheduled from midnight to 5:00 a.m. on April 20. The shutdown is part of ongoing efforts to replace the Burner Management System (BMS), following a major fault that caused complete damage to the plant's controller earlier this month.
Installation preparations are about 90% complete, with the final phase of the replacement requiring a full shutdown of the facility. The company said it is working closely with state power transmission operator GRIDCo to minimise the impact of the maintenance exercise. Both entities indicated that technical and operational measures had been put in place to ensure the works are completed within the planned timeframe. The company said, "Measures have also been put in place to minimise the impact of the shutdown on consumers."
The company reiterated its commitment to maintaining a stable and reliable power supply, while apologising for any inconvenience the temporary outage may cause.
