Energy Analyst, Benjamin Nsiah has rated the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government's performance in the Energy and Petroleum Sector in the past four years at an underwhelming 20%. The NPP in its 2020 manifesto outlined that its priority in the Energy and Petroleum Sector to "increase efficiency and ensure value-for-money for all activities, including reliable and affordable power generation and distribution, and further development of the oil and gas sector." The party set out a plan to deliver on those promises. These included the enforcement of competitive procurement of power, reduction in losses of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electricity Company (NEDCO) and enforcement of Local Content policies for the Upstream and Downstream sub-sectors amongst others. However, sharing his assessment of the government's delivery on these goals, Mr Nsiah noted that Ghana's electricity tariffs continue to be "one of the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. "Power is still expensive, in terms of affordability, the government could not achieve that. We think that comparing ourselves to South Africa, comparing ourselves to China, comparing ourselves to even our neighbour, our electricity is very expensive, and the government could not achieve that particular target between 2020 and 2024," he noted.
