Blackouts to end in September – Energy Minister
The Minister for Energy, Dr. Oteng Adjei, has
assured Ghanaians that the constant blackouts
being experienced in Ghana will cease by the third
quarter of this year.

According to him, the NDC government is committed
to providing affordable and sustainable energy for
the country. Dr. Adjei said there is ongoing
reinforcement and replacement work in all major
substations across the country to boost energy
supply and power generation.

The Minister said: “We are upgrading the Mallam
substation, by May ending there would be two more
transformers so that the seven transformers within
the system can hold all the demand of Accra.”

“Because of the industrial nature of Tema, we’re
building a second bulk supply point. After we’ve
finished reinforcing the transmission system it
would give us that comfort; we want it
eradicated,” he added.

“We assure you, by September, October, when most
of our plants have been integrated; you’d see a
real change in the power supply system of this
country.”
