Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson together with the Energy Minister, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, had a frank and productive meeting with key sector leaders from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), Volta River Authority (VRA), the Energy Commission, GRIDCo, and other stakeholders.
Their conversation centred on the urgent need for effective and sustainable solutions to strengthen Ghana’s power sector.
They acknowledged the sector’s ongoing financial challenges, including legacy debts, tariff issues, operational inefficiencies, and high-cost power arrangements, but our primary focus was on the path forward.
The meeting concluded with a strong, collective commitment to take decisive and coordinated action to enhance operational efficiency, and support ongoing reforms under the Energy Sector Recovery Programme (ESRP).
Key among these actions is the prioritisation of sustainable financial strategies and policy interventions to ensure reliable, affordable electricity supply while safeguarding the broader economy.
