President Akufo-Addo has appointed Herbert Krapa, the Deputy Minister of Energy, as the new Board Chair of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), following the resignation of Keli Gadzekpo on Tuesday, March 26, 2027, citing personal reasons.

Mr Krapa is expected to lead the ECG Board in addressing the recent power supply disruptions in the country.

The ECG has faced intense pressure and scrutiny from customers and businesses in recent weeks, demanding a load-shedding timetable as power outages increase.

In response, the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has directed ECG to submit and publish a comprehensive load-shedding timetable by April 2, 2024.

However, the Ministry of Energy has denied claims that Ghana is currently experiencing a power crisis, also known as 'dumsor.'
