The Ministry of Energy has dismissed claims that Ghana is experiencing a return of widespread power outages, popularly known as “dumsor,” insisting that electricity generation remains stable and sufficient to meet national demand.
The clarification comes in response to growing public concern over intermittent and unannounced power cuts reported in several parts of the country in recent weeks.
According to the Ministry, there is currently no official load-shedding timetable in place, stressing that the country’s power generation capacity is adequate and that the national grid remains stable.
However, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has acknowledged recent service disruptions and apologised to affected customers. The power distributor attributed the outages to operational and technical challenges within the distribution network rather than any shortfall in electricity generation.
