President John Dramani Mahama held an urgent meeting with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) on Monday, January 13, 2025, to tackle Ghana's looming power crisis.
The discussions focused on the financial challenges facing the power sector, particularly the government's mounting debt to the IPPs, which reached $1.2 billion as of October 2024.
The government's unresolved debt obligations have exacerbated fears of an energy crisis, with IPPs repeatedly threatening to halt power production unless their arrears are addressed.
These producers are pivotal to the national grid, and their potential shutdown could severely disrupt electricity supply across the country.
