NPA Assures Public of Adequate Fuel Stocks and Stable Market Conditions

By Prince Ahenkorah

The National Petroleum Authority has moved swiftly to calm nerves, assuring the general public that Ghana has adequate stocks of petroleum products and that the national fuel supply situation remains stable and firmly under control.
In a press release dated Wednesday, March 11, 2026, and signed by management, the NPA acknowledged growing public anxiety following recent reports and speculation regarding the potential impact of developments in the global energy market on fuel supply and pricing in Ghana.
In light of these concerns, the Authority moved to reassure 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 confirmed 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.
These measures, the Authority 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 reassured 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.
The Authority remains committed to ensuring reliable fuel supply, transparent market operations, and the protection of consumer interests.
