The Minority in Ghana's Parliament has called for a thorough explanation regarding two nationwide power outages that occurred within a single month. The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, expressed concern over the country's power supply system's reliability and resilience, following the outages on July 29 and August 20. The second blackout happened just three weeks after the first and was due to a fault on the Akosombo water line, which caused generating units to trip, according to GRIDCo.
Afenyo-Markin highlighted that the lack of comprehensive information following the disruptions was inadequate and that the Ghanaian public deserved more detailed explanations about the causes and preventive measures. He stressed that the country's electricity grid should be considered critical national infrastructure and advocated for Parliament to require the Minister for Energy and Green Transition to provide full accountings in response to the situation.
The Minority Leader also mentioned that the Minority could push for an investigation into the outages, citing the responsibility of Parliament to demand answers and improve the electricity supply's reliability.
