Ghana's chronic power outages, known as dumsor, will continue until the end of the year unless serious problems in the energy sector are resolved, according to Nana Amoasi VII, Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Security (IES).
His remarks come after reports of massive power outages that have raised questions about the stability of the country's electrical grid.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Friday, February 21, 2025, Nana Amoasi VII blamed the issue on the Electricity Company of Ghana's (ECG) inefficiency, aging infrastructure, and financial limitations that affected important participants in the energy sector.
He underlined that demand usually equals or surpasses supply, and Ghana's power producing capacity is quite low.
