NPA assures public of adequate fuel supply amid global market concerns
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has assured the public that Ghana has enough fuel stocks and that the country’s petroleum supply remains stable despite concerns about developments in the global energy market.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the Authority said it had taken note of recent reports and public discussions about the possible impact of global energy market changes on fuel supply and prices in the country.
According to the NPA, a comprehensive review of national petroleum stock levels and supply arrangements conducted with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and other industry stakeholders shows that Ghana has adequate fuel reserves.
It stated that sufficient quantities of Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are currently available to meet both current and projected national demand.
The Authority explained that the government, through the Ministry and the NPA, continues to implement measures to ensure supply reliability and maintain stability in the fuel market.
It said these measures include constant monitoring of national stock levels and close coordination with international oil trading companies, Bulk Import, Distribution and Export Companies, BOST Energies, and local refineries to ensure timely imports and steady product supply across the country.
The NPA added that it is also strengthening its strategic supply planning and price monitoring systems to prevent possible supply disruptions or price volatility that may arise from global petroleum market developments.
The Authority therefore urged the public not to panic or engage in panic buying, assuring that the country’s petroleum supply chain is functioning normally and that fuel stocks are sufficient nationwide.
It reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring reliable fuel supply, transparent market operations, and the protection of consumers while keeping the public informed about any major developments.
