Ehyah....Electricity expensive if not properly managed. Dem no dey store am, as dem dey generate am, na so dem dey distribute am, no why e go come surplus. Since dem dey get 24/7 supply there, at the end of the month, they may not be able to pay up-to the amount they consumed and the gas suppliers will be paid back. 1 Like |

Ghana’s energy losses stem from a combination of the liabilities for excess supplies, slow customer payments, under-recovery of costs and even government ministries and agencies’ unpaid lighting bills If you're over producing why not export the excess. I read they already export to Togo, Benin and Burkina Faso. Why is it always government not paying power bills. They wont learn to pay bills till you cut off the lights. |

Ghana should look towards exporting more of the excess power generated to west African neighbors; Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, and Togo. Issues such as government agencies owing utility bills should be vigorously checked, Nigeria has a similar challenge. Also, payment of electricity bills by residential properties and businesses should be addressed, I assume that electricity bills are grossly under-payed by the people who are enjoying the power. 2 Likes |

EVarn: They already export to Burkina Faso, Benin and Togo. Their Vice president announced plans to export to Niger and Mali. The ghanaians i thr comment section dont like that idea. It's interesting to see they're skipping Nigeria.

Blue3k2:Ghana also export to ivory coast as well..... Ghana new industry will soon take it over as more industry are springing up under the initiative of 1 district 1 factory.program. There is plan underway to construct bauxite refinery which Ghana has in abundance . that alone can consume over 2000 megawatt. if goverment plans work , the overcapacity will not be a problem. Ghana is currently generating over 5000 megawatt for a nation less than 30 million... |

Finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta, who will present the 2020 budget next week, has warned that the sector’s “unsustainable” liabilities may amount to $12.5bn — about a fifth of GDP — by 2023 from about $2.5bn in January. Im surprised nobody is talking about the debt projections by the finance minister. That's pretty crazy considering the debt to gdp is already high. They better get these deals worked out. vaxx2: I wasnt sure about the ivory coast since I only saw one article state it. Anyway these factories better start up asap then. Has the Bauxite refinery been finalized? Can you clarify if their making aluminum oxide or aluminum. |

Blue3k2:That is a nice development,why are the people against it?. As for not exporting to Nigeria,such action is naturally not feasible. The political implications and the system of our power sector wouldn't allow that. |

Blue3k2: Holistically, the debt rate keeps skyrocketing. but on another look , it isn't much a biggy. All things been equal, if the growth rates continue, it will led to a bigger national income, measured by GDP and that whittled down the debt-to-GDP ratio which is a key criterion in assessing debt sustainability. so technically, the debt is sustainable as economy growth rate stands at 7 percent. next year have been projected to be lower down to 5 percent.. I wasnt sure about the ivory coast since I only saw one article state it. Anyway these factories better start up asap then. Has the Bauxite refinery been finalized? Can you clarify if their making aluminum oxide or aluminumYea, Ghana supply some of the electricity consume in ivory coast and currently on negotiation to construct line pipe that will link Ghana to ivory coast for constant gas supply from main Ghana station .. Ghana currently smelts alumium at its goverment owned company valco. The company smelts alumina to produce aluminium ingots which is mainly used for industrial purpose. At the moment the bauxite industry if successfully achieved can earn Ghana over 400 billion dollars according to the company .... 1 Like 1 Share |
