Ageing transmission infrastructure needs urgent investment – Agyapa-Mercer
Former Member of Parliament for Sekondi, Andrew Agyapa-Mercer, has called for urgent investment in Ghana’s ageing electricity transmission infrastructure, warning that resource constraints could continue to undermine efforts to stabilise the power supply.
Mr Agyapa-Mercer stressed that the challenge should not be reduced to partisan politics, arguing that inadequate resources for transmission infrastructure would continue to affect the power sector regardless of which political party is in government.
His comments follow a nationwide power disruption in parts of Ghana on Thursday, August 20, after the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) attributed the outage to a trip in power transmission lines.
