Cost discipline drives Ghana Gas profit- CEO tells Energy Committee
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Gas Company, Judith Adowba Blay, has attributed the company’s improved financial performance to strict expenditure control and prudent management.
According to her, Ghana Gas recorded a healthy profit in the past year as a result of disciplined spending and a deliberate shift away from what she described as excessive expenditure under previous administrations.
“Ghana Gas made a healthy profit last year because we spent within our means,” she stated.
“Controlling expenditure has been my main focus as CEO.
Without that change in approach, we would not have achieved this result.”
She made the remarks on Friday, April 24, 2026, when the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy paid a working visit to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant to assess operations, challenges, and future prospects of the company.
The delegation was led by the Member of Parliament for Ho West and Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, who described the visit as timely in helping Parliament better understand the company’s role in strengthening Ghana’s energy sector.
Madam Adowba Blay noted that the company has built sufficient financial reserves to sustain its operations and support national development, adding that management will continue to prioritise accountability in all expenditures.
She also commended staff for embracing the cost-optimisation agenda, describing their commitment as key to the company’s success.
The Atuabo Gas Processing Plant remains a critical national asset, supplying processed natural gas for power generation and industrial use.
