The operators of the Karpowership have notified the Government that it will not be able to continue with the supply of power if the debt owed the company is not settled immediately.
This was made known at a meeting between the Minister of Energy and Green Transitions, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, and officials of the Karpowership barge at the Ministry in Accra on Monday.
Karpowership, which currently supplies about 450 megawatts of electricity, has threatened to shut down its generation plant if the power distribution company, ECG, fails to settle the debts amounting to over $370 immediately.
Karpowership at the meeting with the sector minister acknowledged the negative impact a shutdown of the power plant will have on the livelihood and general well-being of Ghanaians but said they are left with no choice since they cannot continue to be saddled with huge debts.
