The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has assured the public that the government is not undertaking any form of load shedding. 

Speaking to the presidential press corps on Friday, 7th March, at Jubilee House following President John Dramani Mahama’s second cabinet meeting, he dismissed speculations of an ongoing nationwide power rationing exercise.  

Mr Jinapor clarified that while there may be occasional disruptions in electricity supply due to technical challenges, these should not be mistaken for a deliberate load-shedding programme. 

“I want to categorically state that the government is not undertaking any load shedding.

Any interruptions in the power supply are purely due to isolated faults and routine maintenance works, not systematic rationing,” he explained.  

He further assured Ghanaians that the government remains committed to ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. 

“We are working tirelessly to strengthen our power infrastructure and improve efficiency within the sector. Our focus is on sustainable energy solutions that guarantee uninterrupted electricity for homes and businesses,” he added.  

Mr Jinapor urged the public to disregard misleading reports suggesting otherwise and called on citizens to report any persistent power issues to the relevant authorities for prompt resolution. 

He reiterated that the government’s energy policies are aimed at ensuring long-term stability and affordability for all.
