In response, Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, visited the region to meet with stakeholders in the power sector.

He explained that the current crisis stems from a weak power sector inherited by the administration. Jinapor highlighted efforts by GRIDCo to stabilize the supply with new transformers and ongoing work by ECG to improve power distribution in the region, with hopes for significant improvements soon.
