The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Jinapor, has convened a meeting with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Northern Electricity Company (NEDCo), and essential stakeholders in the power sector to thoroughly assess the current condition of the power sector.
This engagement also aims to evaluate the action plan for tackling the remaining instances of isolated outages in certain regions.
The discussions concentrated on the operational difficulties within the distribution network, such as transformer overloads and outdated infrastructure that continue to hinder service delivery.
In a post on his Facebook page following the meeting, the Minister stated that these are investments that should have been undertaken years ago, especially as the demand for electricity has surged rapidly due to urbanization and heightened economic activity.
“The administration led by Mahama is making substantial investments to modernize and expand this infrastructure, enhance capacity, and improve overall system reliability.
“I have instructed ECG and NEDCo to amplify their efforts and ensure a swift, coordinated, and effective response to all reported outages. Ghanaians deserve prompt service and transparent communication, and we expect nothing less,” he remarked.
Dr. Jinapor further reassured all Ghanaians that they are working diligently and with urgency to address the pockets of outages in certain areas.
