No need for panic, Ghana’s fuel supply stable – NPA assures Ghanaians
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has reassured the public that Ghana has sufficient fuel reserves and that the country’s petroleum market remains stable despite concerns over developments in the global energy sector.
The assurance comes amid growing public discussions about how tensions in the Middle East and fluctuations in the international oil market could affect fuel supply and prices in Ghana.
In a statement released on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the Authority said it had reviewed the country’s petroleum stock levels in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition as well as key industry stakeholders.
According to the NPA, the assessment confirmed that Ghana currently has adequate fuel supplies to satisfy existing market demand.
“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,” the statement noted.
The Authority added that the government continues to put proactive strategies in place to ensure consistent fuel supply and maintain stability within the petroleum market.
These measures include regular monitoring of national fuel stocks and close coordination with international oil trading firms, bulk import and distribution companies, BOST Energies, and local refineries to facilitate timely fuel imports and steady distribution across the country.
The NPA further indicated that it is strengthening supply planning and price monitoring systems to reduce the risk of disruptions or sharp price fluctuations that could result from changes in the global petroleum market.
The Authority therefore encouraged the public to remain calm and refrain from panic buying, emphasizing that the fuel supply chain is operating normally and that adequate stocks are available nationwide.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining reliable fuel supply, ensuring transparency in the petroleum market, and protecting the interests of consumers, while promising to keep the public informed about any major developments in the sector.
