The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has disclosed that all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) will now be required to make budgetary allocations to pay for their power consumption.
The minister said this during a meeting between the energy committee and power sector agencies on Thursday, May 15, 2025.
He underscored the need for MDAs to take responsibility for their electricity bills.
“All MDAs are supposed to pay for their electricity bills. They have to budget for it. These include the health sector, education, security agencies, and the presidency. Even with that, in the health sector, it is the laboratories, theatres, and wards that will be exempted.
“In the educational sector, dormitories and restaurants are not included; it is just the lecture halls. We have classified these, and parliament is approving, so we can publish them,” he said.
