Mines and energy committee of Parliament directs ECG to publish load shedding timetable
The chairman of the mines and energy committee of Parliament, Samuel Atta Akyea said the committee will monitor to ensure the right thing is done
The mines and energy committee of Parliament has directed the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to ensure it furnishes power consumers with a load shedding timetable.
The directive comes after the committee met with stakeholders in the energy sector in Accra.
The regulator, PURC, had earlier directed the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to furnish it with a load management timetable by 2 April 2024.
Addressing the media after the meeting, the chairman of the mines and energy committee of Parliament, Samuel Atta Akyea said the committee will monitor to ensure the right thing is done.
He said, “The conversations we’ve had are very good. Some of the technical challenges relating to fuel and the rest of it will be tackled. If there is under-generation which there is an admission there is one, we should do everything in our power to make sure that we generate enough power.”
“I think the committee was very strong on the matter that if there are power outages, those who are enjoying power should know when it will be available and then they plan their lives around the timetable you furnished them.”
“I think they are not aversed to that, it is imperative and they are going to do it. We will do everything in our power to monitor the situation,” Atta Akyea said.
