VRA back after successful Maintenance on Gas Leak in their Network

The Volta River Authority (VRA) has resumed operations and is receiving gas from the Ghana National Gas Company after successfully working on gas leaks from their gas network in the Aboadze Enclave.

It would be recalled that following a Shutdown Maintenance on October 30, 2021 to November 11, 2021, after running for only 5days after the Shutdown Maintenance, the VRA had to go down to repair a major leak on November 20, 2021 and resume operations for intake of gas from Ghana Gas pipeline on December 1, 2021.

The prompt return to Operations in receiving gas from the Ghana Gas Pipeline is advantageous for the Energy Industry especially going into the festive period.

This goes a long way to address the issues of intermittent power outages in Kumasi and it’s environs.

One of the lead Engineers from the VRA has stated that “gas leaks are normal in our production history and it is very important we address them so it doesn’t turn to anything worse.

“You can’t run your car over many years and expect not to have a problem especially hose leaks, same in this industry, you can’t have a plant which is a machine without gas leaks.”

“VRA has shown that the Ghana National Gas Company and other industry players have been very supportive in this troubleshooting exercise and are cooperating to ensure stability in our power generation and distribution sector.”
