The Chairman of the Volta River Authority (VRA) in Ghana, Jabesh Amissah-Arthur, has proposed a new approach to power supply management during shortages. He suggested a proportional reduction of electricity to neighboring countries instead of completely cutting off power. Amissah-Arthur argued that this method would maintain strong business relationships with these countries while ensuring fair distribution of available electricity.
He cautioned against completely cutting off power to neighboring markets, as it could lead to long-term commercial repercussions for Ghana. He emphasized that Ghana's neighboring countries have been vital customers for years and still hold significant importance to the country's power sector. Amissah-Arthur supported the use of a proportional supply arrangement, which has been implemented by Ghana for many years, as a viable solution for the future.
