President John Dramani Mahama is expected to be in the Western Region today, September 16, to commission for full operation the Ghana Gas Processing Plant in Atuabo.
The plant was constructed at a cost of $1 billion from the China Development Bank loan.
Construction began in April, 2012 and completed in August, 2014.
The full operation of the plant is expected to ease the power crisis of the country as the plant will process raw gas into liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) for the country’s major thermal plants.
President Mahama in his last visit to the construction site said the plant will be a game-changer and would empower Ghana’s quest to be a power exporter in the subregion.
