PCCA GHANA aka The Ghana Filling Station Awards

PCCA GHANA aka The Ghana Filling Station Awards PCCA Ghana aka the FiSA is a prime celebration, inspiring excellence in quality service delivery at OMC Service Stations in the petroleum downstream

The Ghana Petroleum Choice Awards (PCCA Ghana) aka the Filling Station Awards as a civil ceremony is beyond the now, it is for the future; one of the sure ways of inspiring quality service delivery at OMC Service Stations. The downstream oil sector is mainly dependent on the performance of OMC Service Stations. And the number of Service Stations keeps increasing year after year, courtesy the effor

t of active players like the OMCs, business individuals and other entities. Apart from their effort to make oil products readily available to the populace, they are confronted by state obligations to deliver services according to regulatory standards. In the face of these standards, OMC Service Stations providing quality services maybe suffering from the negative general perceptions of the ones providing poor services. Thus, it’s important to recognize the commitment of well performing ones. Besides, we are all encouraged by the regulators (NPA, GSA, ect) to help their work of implementing standards of quality services at OMC Service Stations. And so the Ghana Petroleum Choice Awards (PCCA Ghana) as a civil ceremony wishes to inspire OMC Service Stations towards quality service delivery by highlighting commitments to giving the best to petroleum product consumers. This broad important objective is achievable in the following ways:
• Recognize/reward OMC Service Stations for displaying profound commitment to service delivery;
• Recognize profound programs/strategies and regulatory frameworks (especially from the state), stakeholder organizations and individuals that have ensured or which actions have resulted in quality service delivery at OMC Service Stations; and
• Reward loyal consumers of petroleum products for their important role in enhancing quality service delivery at OMC filling stations.

Petroleum Deregulation; Confusion to Escalate Over Transport Fares

Few days ago, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) announced the start of the full deregulation of petroleum products from June 15, 2015, in what it believed is the right way to go. This simply means the NPA will not be involved in the pricing of petroleum products effective June 15, 2015. Importers, Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs), and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) will be allowed the free hand to price their own products, and so what we are likely to see from June 15 are different petroleum prices at different branded services stations across the country.

So what happens to transportation fares for commercial vehicles now that petroleum prices maybe different at different branded services stations? As key observers of the relationship between the petroleum downstream and motorists, we do not fail to recognize the confusions and fights that follows the announcement of new (even same) petroleum prices every time. Usually the public not well informed on changes in transport fares against indiscipline commercial motorists that would want to misinterpret fare changes to suit their gains. We are therefore heading to the conclusion that we are going to have an escalation of these confusions and fights on our roads now that we having this new regime at hand. What is the public information and road map for transport fare pricing now that we are entering this deregulation regime? What public engagements are happening to ensure an informed public on transport fare pricing and discipline on the part of commercial vehicles before June 15 and beyond?

Indeed, a two-day exercise undertaken by the PCCA Ghana research team in Greater Accra alone gathered that the many commercial motorists had no idea about the implications of this policy on their daily business activities. Therefore in order to avoid surprise effects on commercial motorists which can also degenerate into fights and confusions with passengers, we call on the appropriate stakeholder authorities to start acting on this matter now.

Response: Shell to miss PCCA nominations over license threat?

With reference to an online article published by the Ghanaweb, http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/artikel.php?ID=343446 we wish to correct the inaccuracies captured in the said article.

Vivo Energy, the company behind the Shell brand in Africa, continues to operate lawfully and has the appropriate oil marketing company licence to operate in Ghana.

We remain committed to being the leading participant in Ghana's downstream energy market and to being a significant contributor to the continued growth of the Ghanaian economy. In 2014 Vivo Energy invested heavily in Ghana, opening 24 new service stations across the country - more openings than in any of its other 15 countries across Africa.

As part of its license requirement Vivo Energy is required to divest 8% of its equity to Ghanaian entities in order to increase local ownership to 25%. Vivo Energy has been very proactive in finding a local investor to buy this share. We have a constructive and amicable relationship with the National Petroleum Authority and Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and have been working closely with both as we increase local ownership of the company.

Thank you.
