President Akufo-Addo has affirmed his government's commitment to investing in the power sector to enhance electricity supply in the country.
Addressing attendees at the commissioning of a 15-megawatt solar power plant in Kaleo, Upper West Region, Nana Akufo-Addo emphasized that his administration will soon introduce green energy policies aimed at reducing reliance on thermal power.
He stressed the importance of such initiatives in ensuring a sustainable and reliable power supply for Ghana.
“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.”
In the meantime, Herbert Krapa, the Chairman of the governing board of the Electricity Corporation of Ghana (ECG), has offered assurance that the current power crisis will soon be resolved.
He affirmed that the government has implemented adequate measures to guarantee a consistent power supply for consumers.
Mr Krapa underscored the government's recognition of the challenges facing Ghanaians and its dedication to resolving them for the well-being of the people.
“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.
