NPA Dismisses LPG Shortage Claims, Assures Public of Adequate Supply

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has assured the public that there is no impending shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), urging consumers to disregard reports suggesting otherwise.

In a statement issued on February 20, 2026, the Authority said Ghana currently holds more than one month’s LPG supply, with local refinery production at its highest level. It also indicated that an additional LPG cargo is expected within two weeks to further strengthen stock levels. The NPA advised consumers to avoid panic buying.

The statement follows comments by the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) cautioning about a possible shortage. Meanwhile, COMAC and the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) have raised concerns over the alleged diversion of funds from the LPG Fund to the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company (GCMC).

Despite the concerns, the NPA maintains that LPG supply across the country remains stable.
