Earlier power supply assurance by Energy Minister
Heading into 2026, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, assured consumers that there would be a constant power supply during the festive season, despite the historic all-time high in energy consumption.
The minister noted that the Christmas period had led to increased power demand, with his assurance coming as the Ghana Grid Company officially recorded a peak generation demand of approximately 4,300 megawatts.
It was a record-breaking figure that highlighted the growing pressure on the nation’s energy infrastructure, yet Jinapor maintained that the government would work hard to meet the increased energy needs of Ghanaians.
Pastor blasts President Mahama over dumsor
YEN.com.gh also previously reported that a pastor had criticised President John Mahama over the regular power outages he was experiencing in his neighbourhood.
The pastor said he lived in Ablekuma, Fan Milk, and had not enjoyed two straight hours of power supply in recent times, adding that his complaints were nothing new.
