The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Minister John Jinapor, says there was no need for calls for the publication of a load-shedding timetable amid recent intermittent power outages.
He stated that there is currently no reason to release a timetable for the power outages popularly known as ‘dumsor.’
The minister was reacting to calls made by the minority in parliament for the government to release the timetable.
Speaking to journalists on Friday, March 7, 2025, he said, “Let me put it on record that we’re not shedding load. And so, the demand by the minority and some people that we publish a load-shedding timetable is moot. When you are not shedding load, there will be no need to publish a load-shedding timetable.”
According to him, we have sufficient power supply and are exporting approximately 300 megawatts of electricity to neighbouring countries, including Benin and Burkina Faso.
“As we speak, we’re exporting about 300 megawatts of power outside Ghana to Benin, Burkina Faso, and other neighbouring countries. If you have enough and you are exporting power, obviously there will be no need to publish a timetable.”
