Ghanaians have been reassured by Herbert Krapa, Chairman of the Electricity Corporation of Ghana (ECG) governing board, that the current power crisis will be resolved shortly.
He declared that enough steps had been made by the administration to guarantee customers a consistent supply of electricity.
Krapa underlined that the administration is committed to resolving Ghanaians’ problems for the good of the people and is aware of the difficulties they face.
On Wednesday, April 24, Mr. Krapa thanked the Ghanaian people for their forbearance and tenacity in the face of this tragedy in a Facebook post.
The post reads:
“As I said earlier today at Kaleo, at the Commissioning of VRA’s 15MW Solar Plant, the Government has put in place immediate measures to ensure the return of uninterrupted supply of power to consumers. I can, therefore, state that the unfortunate power challenges Ghanaians are facing should be over in the next few days.”
“We are fully confident that the measures being put in place should resolve the service interruptions. We empathise with all consumers and apologise unreservedly for the effects of the outages on our daily lives. Please bear with us. We are fixing it and we are nearly there,”.
Power users all around the country have been enduring intermittent blackouts, referred to locals as “Dumsor,” for the last seven weeks. Some Ghanaians have demanded that the Ministry of Energy provide an official schedule to alert customers about power availability in the midst of these difficulties.
The ECG board chair, who also holds the position of Deputy Minister for Energy, recently joined President Akufo-Addo in a momentous event at Kaleo as a response to these worries.
The occasion signaled the formal opening of the Kaleo Solar Power Plant’s second phase, which represents a critical advancement in Ghana’s transition to renewable energy.
