The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has assured the public of uninterrupted power supply as the country prepares for a scheduled shutdown by ENI on Sunday, 13th July, to facilitate an operational upgrade.<\/p>\n

The assurance follows a high-level engagement held on Friday, July 11, in Accra, where Mr Jinapor convened key stakeholders in the country\u2019s energy sector to assess the potential impact of the temporary shutdown and review contingency measures.<\/p>\n

The minister reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to maintaining a stable and reliable power sector, describing it as essential to Ghana\u2019s economic resilience. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe power sector is the backbone of our economy, and we are leaving no stone unturned to ensure this upgrade does not negatively impact citizens,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

He noted that all relevant agencies are implementing a coordinated mitigation plan. <\/p>\n

\u201cI urge the public to remain calm. I can assure Ghanaians that robust and proactive measures are in place to ensure minimal or no disruption to power supply,\u201d the Minister stated.<\/p>\n
