The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor has today, Tuesday, March 4, met with operators of Bridge Power Co. Ltd. following the decision of the latter to shut down its operations due to the non-payment of supply arrears totalling $47m owed to EPL for 7 months of operations.
The shutdown has resulted in the curtailment of 200MW of power supply into the national, adversely affecting an already fragile power supply system.
Mr. Jinapor assured EPL of the government's commitment to resolving the financial challenges confronting the sector.
To this end, the Hon. Minister has directed EPL to be included in TIER 1 power-producing companies aimed at ensuring significant payments to the company.
