The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has visited the West African Pipeline Company (WAPCo) station in Tema amid growing pressure to restore stable electricity supply in the country.
His visit comes as engineers work to complete ongoing maintenance on the gas pipeline, which is reportedly about 70% done.
The shutdown has contributed to power disruptions affecting businesses and households.
Authorities have assured the public that every effort is being made to stabilise the energy sector and prevent prolonged outages.
Speaking on Asempa FM on Thursday, February 20, Mr. Jinapor attributed the current power challenges to an inherited weak energy sector but reaffirmed the government’s commitment to implementing lasting solutions.
“We inherited a very weak energy sector. Ghanaians should bear with us as we work to fix the problems permanently,” he stated.
He further assured that the power supply situation would stabilise within two weeks, expressing confidence in the government’s intervention measures.
