The government will continue to intervene to protect customers from rising fuel prices at the pump, according to the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
Richmond Rockson, the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition’s spokesperson and head of communications, signed a press release dated May 15, 2026, in which the ministry stated that the decision came after a Cabinet meeting presided over by President John Dramani Mahama, during which developments on the global petroleum market were examined.
In order to shield consumers from rising global gasoline costs brought on by geopolitical tensions, the government had previously implemented a temporary intervention on April 16, 2026, absorbing GH2.00 per litre on diesel and GH0.36 per litre on petrol.
The government has agreed to prolong the diesel intervention by absorbing GH¢1.07 per litre starting on May 16, 2026, in light of the most recent evaluation.
The ministry claims that while continuing to help consumers, the move is meant to guarantee the sustainable distribution of petroleum products throughout the nation.
