The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has insisted that the country has adequate stocks of petroleum products to meet demand, dispelling reports, speculation, and public commentary regarding the potential impact of developments in the global energy market on fuel supply and pricing in Ghana.
These include Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
In a statement, the authority stated that the government, through the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, is implementing proactive measures to safeguard supply reliability and maintain market stability.
“In light of these concerns, the Authority wishes to assure the general public that Ghana currently has adequate stocks of petroleum products, and the national fuel supply situation remains stable and firmly under control.
“Following a comprehensive review of national petroleum stock levels and supply arrangements conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and key industry stakeholders, the NPA can confirm that sufficient quantities of Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are available in the country to meet current and projected national demand.
“Government, through the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and the NPA, continues to implement proactive measures to safeguard supply reliability and maintain market stability,” It said on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
These measures, the NPA said, include continuous monitoring of national stock levels, strategic coordination with International Oil Trading Companies (IOTCs), Bulk Import, Distribution and Export Companies (BIDECs), BOST Energies, and local refineries to ensure timely imports and consistent product availability across the country.
“The Authority is also strengthening strategic supply planning and price monitoring mechanisms to mitigate any potential supply disruptions or price volatility arising from developments in the global petroleum market.”
The NPA therefore reassures the public that there is no cause for alarm or panic buying, as the petroleum supply chain continues to function normally and adequate stocks are available nationwide.
According to the Authority, it remains committed to ensuring reliable fuel supply, transparent market operations, and the protection of consumer interests.
