John Abdulai Jinapor, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, urges Ghanaians to remain patient. He asks them to be understanding as the country prepares for a 14.75% hike in electricity tariffs beginning May 3, 2025.
According to the recent statement from the PURC, the tariff revision aims to provide stability to the energy industry. It also addresses enduring issues with its operations and finances.
Addressing the Committee of Ministers at the West African Gas Pipeline Project meeting in Accra, Mr. Jinapor emphasized the significance of conducting a review to maintain the country’s power supply and drive progress in sector reforms.
The speaker expressed their plea to Ghanaians and the overall public to understand. They are implementing necessary, albeit challenging, decisions. These decisions aim to have dependable power sources for the country’s economic progress.
