An energy analyst at the Centre for Environmental Management and Sustainable Energy(CEMSE0, Benjamin Nsiah, has raised concerns over recent remarks by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, on Ghana’s ongoing electricity challenges.

Speaking on Accra FM's evening news on Monday, Mr. Nsiah said while the public is already aware of the persistent power supply issues, the Minister did not provide sufficient clarity on how government intends to manage the situation.

He noted that beyond acknowledging the power deficit, Ghanaians expect a concrete strategy—particularly a load management timetable—to help consumers plan their daily activities during periods of power shortfall.

According to him, the absence of such a schedule has left many households and businesses uncertain, especially as outages continue to affect productivity and daily life.

Mr. Nsiah also observed that the Minister’s comments largely echoed earlier statements made during a recent visit to the Akosombo Sub-station, offering little new information on measures being taken to address the crisis.

He further argued that the country’s energy challenges stem primarily from infrastructure deficits rather than workforce inefficiencies, stressing the need for sustained investment in the sector.

“If there is a problem and you don’t invest in infrastructure, temporary measures will not resolve the underlying issues,” he explained.

The analyst emphasised that resolving Ghana’s power challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including short-, medium-, and long-term strategies, as well as institutional reforms and increased capital investment.

He also called for the involvement of competent professionals and a reduction in political interference in the management of the sector.

Mr. Nsiah concluded that such measures are essential to achieving a stable and reliable electricity supply in Ghana.
