The government has assured the public that it has secured adequate fuel supplies to sustain power generation, despite reports of intermittent outages, commonly referred to as dumsor, in some parts of the country.
Addressing a press briefing on Thursday, February 20, Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, acknowledged the recent power cuts but emphasized that measures have been put in place to maintain a stable and reliable energy supply.
He further stated that Energy Minister John Jinapor is closely monitoring the situation and will engage the public in the coming days to provide updates and address any concerns regarding the outages.
“I can say that the energy minister is aware of the situation and in the coming days he will engage the public. But the threats that we faced at the very onset of this government, which is related to the closure of the West Africa Gas Pipeline and the failure of the previous government to meet its obligation in providing fuel for thermal power generation were averted.
“The government has brought an adequate supply of fuel. But it is important from time to time to engage the public and address the concerns that they may have when it comes to the power situation,” he stated.
