No utility can survive with a loss of more than 30 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is unacceptable. President Mahama has already indicated that on assumption of office, we will turn around the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will make ECG once again profitable in partnership with local Ghanaian entrepreneurs.
