Members of Parliament’s Energy Committee have undertaken a working visit to the Accra Plains depot of BOSTEnergies as part of efforts to assess the state of the country’s strategic fuel infrastructure and ongoing reforms in the downstream petroleum sector.
The delegation, led by the Committee’s leadership, was received by management of BOSTEnergies, who took the lawmakers through a detailed briefing on the depot’s operations, storage capacity, safety systems, and its role in ensuring national fuel security.
Officials of the company highlighted the importance of the Accra Plains facility within Ghana’s petroleum distribution network, noting that it serves as a critical hub for the storage and dispatch of refined petroleum products across the country. They also outlined ongoing upgrades aimed at improving efficiency, reducing losses, and enhancing safety standards.
During the tour, members of the Committee inspected key installations at the depot, including storage tanks, loading gantries, and control systems. The lawmakers expressed interest in understanding measures being implemented to maintain product quality, prevent leakages, and ensure environmental protection.
The Committee commended management for steps taken to improve operational performance but stressed the need for sustained investment in infrastructure to meet rising national demand. Members also underscored the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of strategic national assets.
Speaking after the visit, the Committee reaffirmed Parliament’s commitment to supporting policies and initiatives that strengthen the energy sector, particularly in areas related to storage capacity, distribution efficiency, and energy security.
The visit forms part of a broader oversight mandate by the Energy Committee to engage key stakeholders and monitor developments across Ghana’s energy value chain.
