President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has affirmed his administration’s commitment to enhancing the power supply in the nation through continued investment in the power sector.
At the inauguration of a 15-megawatt solar power facility in Kaleo, Upper West Region, President Akufo-Addo highlighted plans to implement green energy policies aimed at reducing reliance on thermal power.
He stated, “The government is implementing a series of policies and measures to incentivise green investments, foster a culture of energy efficiency, and prioritise the development of solar, wind and hydroelectric power projects as key strategies for the growth of the energy sector in the country.”
Meanwhile, Herbert Krapa, Chairman of the Electricity Corporation of Ghana (ECG), has provided reassurance to Ghanaians regarding the ongoing power challenges.
He affirmed that the government has taken decisive actions to ensure a consistent power supply for consumers.
Krapa emphasized the government’s understanding of the difficulties faced by Ghanaians and its dedication to addressing them for the public’s welfare.
“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,” Herbert Krapa’s post further read.
