Charles Owusu<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation (PHDC), Charles Owusu, has trumpeted the corporation\u2019s success story since its establishment in 2020.<\/p>\n
According to him, the corporation is not only fulfilling its mandate of developing Ghana\u2019s petroleum infrastructure but also expanding its influence in the energy sector.<\/p>\n
Taking his turn in a documentary produced by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) on state-owned enterprises (SOEs), Mr. Owusu said the year 2024 is widely regarded as a period of significant growth, transformation, and strategic impact of the outfit he heads.<\/p>\n
The approach of PHDC, he noted, has been characterised by a combination of visionary thinking, a commitment to sustainability, and a focus on international partnerships.<\/p>\n
This, he noted, has solidified PHDC\u2019s legacy as one of the key architects of Ghana\u2019s petroleum sector advancement in the 21st century.<\/p>\n
PHDC is a state-owned enterprise established under the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation Act, 2020 (Act 1053) to promote and develop a Petroleum and Petrochemicals Hub in Ghana.<\/p>\n
It is an agency under the Ministry of Energy which commenced its operations in September 2021 with the inauguration of its Board of Directors and the appointment of its first CEO.<\/p>\n
PHDC also aims to support the country to attain accelerated growth and development.<\/p>\n
The Petroleum Hub Project is estimated to cost at least US$60 billion.<\/p>\n
The Hub Project is to be a private sector-led investment with the government providing basic amenities such as land, regulatory framework, and other economic incentives.<\/p>\n
PHDC is currently developing an Integrated Petroleum Complex which will sit on a 20,000-acre land in the Jomoro Municipal Assembly in the Western Region.<\/p>\n
It will consist of infrastructure, including three (3) refineries with capacity of 300,000bpsd (minimum) each, five (5) petrochemical plants with capacity of 90,000bpsd each.<\/p>\n
There will be ten (10) million cubic metres interconnected storage tanks, jetties and port infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The project will be implemented in three phases and expected to be completed in 2036.<\/p>\n
Achievements<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the most critical achievements under PHDC leadership was the successful signing of the Phase 1 investor in June 2024, securing a total investment commitment of US$12 billion.<\/p>\n
This major milestone marked a pivotal step towards the realisation of the Petroleum Hub Project and affirmed investor confidence in the long-term viability of the initiative.<\/p>\n
Compensation<\/strong><\/p>\nFollowing the groundbreaking ceremony, the President instructed the Ministry of Finance to release GH\u00a2200 million for compensation and resettlement efforts related to the Petroleum Hub Project.<\/p>\n
PHDC has entered into a 5.5million Euro landmark agreement with three Spanish institutions in the Canary Islands, Spain.<\/p>\n
This initiative is aimed at training 780,000 skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled Ghanaians in the Petroleum Hub.<\/p>\n
