Energy and Green Transition Minister John Jinapor has revealed that Ghana is currently exporting electricity to neighboring countries, dismissing concerns about inadequate power supply.

“As we speak, we’re exporting about 300 megawatts of power outside Ghana to Benin, Burkina Faso, and other neighboring countries. If you have enough and you are exporting power, obviously, there will be no need to publish a timetable,” he stated.

His remarks come amid calls from the Minority in Parliament for the government to release a load-shedding timetable due to the recent intermittent power outages, commonly known as ‘dumsor.’

However, the minister refuted claims of load shedding, insisting that the power cuts are not systematic but rather the result of technical challenges.

“Let me put it on record that we’re not shedding load. And so, the demand by the Minority and some people that we publish a load-shedding timetable is moot. When you are not shedding load, there will be no need to publish a load-shedding timetable,” he stressed.

Mr Jinapor assured Ghanaians that efforts are underway to address the technical issues and stabilize power supply across the country.
