The Chamber of Independent Power Generators Ghana (IPGG) has praised President Akufo-Addo's directive instructing the Volta River Authority (VRA) to halt the exportation of electricity to neighboring countries.

Samuel Atta Akyea, Chairman of the Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament, announced the government's decision on the export during a session in Accra.

A statement from Dr. Elikplim Apetorgbor, Chief Executive of the IPGG Chamber, expressed gratitude that the President heeded their request to suspend power exportation during a period of domestic power supply challenges.

The suspension, though not expected to entirely resolve the supply issues, is seen as a step towards stabilizing the domestic power market and increasing supply.

The statement commended President Akufo-Addo for prioritizing the domestic market during this crucial period.

The IPGG Chamber also recognized Parliament, the media, and the public for their involvement in the power export matter.

Furthermore, it praised the VRA for prioritizing the national interest by complying with the President's directive.
