The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening Ghana’s gas sector following a high-level meeting with the World Liquid Gas Association (WLGA).
The Chief Advocacy Officer and Deputy Managing Director of WLGA, Michael Kelly, paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive of the NPA, Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, as part of ongoing efforts to deepen collaboration in the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector.
During the meeting on Monday April 20, 2026, Mr. Kelly commended the NPA’s leadership and Ghana’s progress in gas sector regulation, describing the country as a leading model in Sub-Saharan Africa.
He specifically praised the implementation of the Cylinder Recirculation Model, a policy designed to improve safety and efficiency in LPG distribution.
He also extended an invitation to the NPA to participate in the “Clean Cooking for Life Forum” scheduled to take place in Accra, highlighting the importance of global partnerships in advancing access to clean energy solutions.
In response, Mr. Tameklo reaffirmed the NPA’s commitment to expanding LPG access nationwide. He emphasized ongoing efforts to increase gas penetration, enhance safety protocols, and strengthen regulatory standards across the sector.
He further underscored the importance of strategic partnerships in sustaining growth, noting that Ghana aims to maintain its position as a benchmark for effective gas industry management in the region.
The engagement marks another step in Ghana’s drive to promote clean cooking solutions and improve energy access, particularly through strengthened collaboration with international industry stakeholders.
