Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has visited the West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) station in Tema as part of efforts to address the ongoing power disruptions affecting the country.

His visit comes amid growing public concern over the unstable electricity supply, which has placed pressure on the government to restore consistent power. The Minister inspected ongoing maintenance works on the pipeline shutdown, which officials report is approximately 70% complete.

Engineers are racing against time to complete repairs and resume full gas supply operations, which are crucial to stabilising the national power grid.

The recent spate of power outages has sparked frustration among citizens and businesses, prompting the government to intensify measures to stabilise the energy sector and prevent prolonged disruptions.

Speaking to Asempa FM on Thursday, February 20, Mr. Jinapor attributed the ongoing energy challenges to issues inherited by the current administration.

“We inherited a very weak energy sector. Ghanaians should bear with us as we work to fix the problems permanently,” he said.

He further assured the public that the ongoing power disruptions would be resolved soon.

“The current erratic supply situation should be stable in two weeks’ time,” he added, expressing confidence in the government’s intervention measures.
