The Institute for Energy Security (IES) has called on the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) to be transparent in communicating the current status of the power sector.

They are also urging GRIDCo to provide the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) with a clear estimate of the power supply that can be guaranteed within a specific period.

“Such an information is vital for the ECG to plan its load response with a timetable,” the IES added in a statement signed and issued by its Executive Director, Nana Amoasi VII on April 1.

The IES emphasized that ECG should concentrate on managing its load based on the power supply from GRIDCo and efficiently collecting revenue to ensure full cost recovery.

“The Public Utility and Regulatory Commission (PURC) must look beyond the ECG to audit the upstream segment of the power sub-sector, particularly the GRIDCo, and export sales by the Volta River Authority (VRA),” it added.
