The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has dismissed the Minority in Parliament’s call for the publication of a load management timetable amidst ongoing power challenges.
In a statement, the Ministry described the call as “misplaced,” insisting that there is no justification for such a timetable.
The Ministry explained that the current power generation capacity is sufficient to meet national demand, even during peak hours.
“The current power generation capacity is sufficient to meet peak demand; hence, there is no basis for a load-shedding timetable at this time,” portions of the release stated.
The Minority, in their demand, cited the ongoing erratic power supply affecting households, businesses, and essential services.
Criticising the government, the Caucus accused the Ministry and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) of mismanaging what they described as an unannounced return to dumsor.
However, the Ministry said it acknowledges the ongoing challenges within the power distribution system and pledged its commitment to resolve them.
