Energy Minister rejects calls for load-shedding timetable

Energy Minister John Jinapor has dismissed calls for a load-shedding timetable, stating that Ghana is not undergoing systematic power rationing.

Addressing journalists at Jubilee House, he emphasized that while the power system remains fragile, Ghana has sufficient electricity, exporting 300 megawatts to Burkina Faso and Benin.

He assured Ghanaians that the government is addressing challenges by securing fuel supplies and making necessary payments, noting that $700 million is needed to meet demand and resolve fuel shortages.

To ensure long-term stability, the government will operationalize the Renewable Energy Investment Fund to boost sustainable power generation.

His remarks come amid growing public concerns over unannounced power outages affecting businesses and households.
