Government assures to strengthen power generation capacity and energy security
He charged GRIDCo to also strengthen preventive maintenance, system monitoring, protection coordination and restoration preparedness
Dr John Jinapor, the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, has assured the public that the government is committed to enhancing power generation capacity and energy security. He emphasized the importance of energy security for economic growth, leading to increased investment in the sector. In his speech at the 13th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Ghana Grid Company Limited on August 28, Jinapor highlighted the company's remarkable 2025 performance.
GRIDCo transmitted a record 25,860 GWh of electricity, reported a profit after tax of GH¢584.46 million, and demonstrated impressive reliability and availability across its network. To achieve this, a robust generation mix must be complemented by a resilient transmission network, according to Jinapor. The government aims to restore GRIDCo's status as one of Africa's most reliable, innovative, and financially sustainable transmission utilities, ultimately delivering the dependable electricity service that Ghanaians deserve.
Jinapor tasked the company's management with strengthening preventive maintenance, system monitoring, protection coordination, and restoration preparedness.
