Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament has assured the general public that it will see to it that all stakeholders including the Ministry of Finance, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Independent Power Producers (IPPs), The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCO) play their respective roles to resolve the power outages.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chairman of the Committee Samuel Atta Akyea assured the public that the outages would 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 the Abuakwa South Member of Parliament said.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re doing our best, the lights are going to stay on \u2013 ECG boss<\/p>\n

He added \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

ECG is becoming ungovernable \u2013 ACEP Boss<\/p>\n

He added \u201cWe will do everything in our power to monitor the situation, The Ministry of Finance is involved we will make sure that what they are supposed to do they do it. ECG is involved, and we will ensure what they are supposed to do they do it, GRIDCo and NEDCo, the independent power producers involved, what should come to them so that they do the what is needful will come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana, Samuel Dubik Mahama, for his part, insisted that the country is not experiencing erratic power supply (Dumsor).<\/p>\n

He said that the maintenance works on most of the transformers are almost done.<\/p>\n

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

He said this to journalists after a crunch meeting that the Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament had with stakeholders in the energy sector in Accra on Saturday, April 6.<\/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
