Ghana's energy sector has become a debt making machine with legacy debt pegged at some $3.1 billion as of March 2025. Shortfalls are estimated to cost the country about $8.94 billion between 2023 and 2026 with over a billion US dollars needed to procure fuel for thermal plants annually.
As a result of rising shortfall and fuel cost, government has reviewed the Energy Sector Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which introduces an additional GH¢1 charge on every litre of petroleum products
