The Minister of Energy, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, has engaged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Accra to discuss the challenges facing the power sector in the country.
The programme, dubbed: 'the Engagement Session on the Energy Sector and organised by the Growth Curve Initiative,' was to proffer solutions to address the challenges thwarting the growth of the sector.
Mr Jinapor in his remarks expressed concern about the poor financial state of Ghana's power sector, warning that without urgent reforms, the country's electricity supply could face major disruptions.
According to the minister, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is burdened with a staggering $68 billion in liabilities, while its receivables stand at just $8 billion. "Even if ECG manages to collect all outstanding payments, it would still owe around $60 billion.
