Mahama Administration Settles US$1.47bn Energy Debt, Reinstates World Bank Guarantee Within One Year

The Government of Ghana, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, has cleared a significant portion of legacy energy sector debt, paying approximately US$1.47 billion in 2025 to stabilise the sector and restore international confidence. Upon assuming office in January 2025, the Mahama Administration inherited an energy sector under severe strain, marked by years of non-payment for gas supplied from the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) field. The situation had resulted in the complete depletion of a US$500 million World Bank Partial Risk Guarantee (PRG), a facility established in 2015 to backstop payments to Sankofa Gas Project partners ENI and Vitol and unlock nearly US$8 billion in private investment. Government sources say the exhaustion of the PRG had undermined Gha...
