The Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament has tasked the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to fast-track processes to ensure that consumers receive a load-shedding timetable in the coming days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a crunch meeting with stakeholders in the energy sectors in Accra, the Chairman of the Committee, Samuel Atta Akyea, told the media that the committee will see to it that the ECG provides customers with a load-shedding timetable for them to plan effectively.<\/p>\n

He also assured the public that the recent power outages will be resolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversations we\u2019ve had are very good. Some of the technical challenges relating to fuel and the rest of it, they will be tackled,\u201d said the Abuakwa South lawmaker, adding that \u201cif 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

He emphasised that the committee at the meeting was \u201cvery strong on the matter\u201d regarding publishing a load-shedding timetable due to a lack of adequate generation capacity to meet demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Atta Akyea, the power distributor demonstrated signs of complying with the Committee\u2019s advice, indicating that, \u201cthey are not averse to that it is imperative and they are going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Managing Director of ECG, Samuel Dubik Mahama, on his part, maintained that there is no dumsor currently and that his outfit has not been \u201cshedding load\u201d in the past few days.<\/p>\n

He assured the Committee that the lights would stay on.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe assurance is that we are doing our best and the lights are going to stay on. Most of the transformers that we spoke about and the intensification exercises are almost done so we should just stay positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are currently not shedding load,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

However, the ranking member of the committee and MP for the Yapei-Kusawgu constituency, John Abdulai Jinapor, disagreed with the ECG boss.<\/p>\n

Mr. Jinapor insisted the ECG has been shedding load, stressing that the power outages are caused by the government\u2019s inability to raise funds to buy fuel.<\/p>\n

He noted that government has assured the committee of securing some funds to curtail the problem.<\/p>\n
