The Ghana Union of Traders’ Association (GUTA) admonished the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to publish a load-shedding to allow its members to better plan their business activities.
GUTA in a statement said the ongoing power outages aka dumsor is having adverse effects on their businesses.
The statement which was issued by its Director of Communication, Joseph Paddy, said the dumsor has led to high operational costs incurred by businesses.
It explained that due to the irregular power supply, necessitating the heavy use of fuel to run generators.
“Moreover, the unpredictable power outages force many shop owners to rely on generators, leading to additional expenses for fuel procurement and storage in anticipation of power disruptions.”
“Manufacturers, in particular, are grappling with maintaining production schedules and workforce planning due to the inconsistent power supply, which not only escalates production costs but also exacerbates the living conditions of citizens,” the statement emphasised.
