Per a report by thebftonline.com https://thebftonline.com/2020/editors-pick/wapco-commits-to-reliable-gas-despite-covid-19-fears/, he, however, admitted that there could be a few challenges if the epidemic prolongs.
Germani went on to say that WAPCo is working hard with the Ministry of Energy, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation and other partners to ensure that challenges are dealt with before they affect the production of gas.
In other news, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC), has expressed concerns about the continuous charging of the cylinder recirculation levy paid by consumers despite an assurance given by the Minister of Energy, John Peter Amewu, that it had been withdrawn.
According to COPEC, the controversial 13.5 pesewas fee is still being charged at fuel stations all over Ghana.
The Chamber is already in court, together with the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA), to ensure that the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) refrains from imposing the charge.
