This move is part of the President's vision to transform TOR into a key driver of Ghana's industrialisation agenda.

President John Dramani Mahama has issued a directive to expand the production capacity of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The announcement was made on August 1 during the commissioning of the refurbished refinery at the Tema Industrial Enclave. This move is part of the President's vision to transform TOR into a key driver of Ghana's industrialisation agenda. The expansion roadmap will be developed in collaboration with the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, and the Board and management of TOR.

The directive to expand TOR's production capacity is a significant development in Ghana's energy sector. The expansion will likely have implications for existing contracts and business operations in the industry. Lawyers and compliance officers should be aware of potential changes to Ghana's industrialisation agenda, which may impact companies operating in the energy sector. The government's ambitious vision to transform TOR into a key driver of industrialisation is expected to have far-reaching consequences for the country's economic development.

The expansion of TOR's production capacity will not only increase Ghana's oil refinery output but also contribute significantly to the country's industrialisation agenda. The move is expected to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and improve the country's energy security. However, it also raises concerns about potential disruptions to existing contracts and business operations in the industry. As the government moves forward with this ambitious plan, companies operating in the energy sector should be prepared for potential changes and implications.

Lawyers and compliance officers should watch for potential changes to Ghana's industrialisation agenda, which may impact existing contracts or business operations in the energy sector.
