The deal is expected to bolster domestic power generation and support industrial activities, as the West African nation grapples with energy demands driven by economic recovery and population growth.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry said the additional gas will come from the Sankofa field, which is part of the Offshore Cape Three Points project operated by Eni and its partners. The project is a key component of Ghana’s strategy to diversify its energy mix and reduce reliance on more expensive fuel sources.
