The energy think tank believes the country's energy debt is putting constraints on power generation and distribution. The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a 22-day power cut timetable starting from Monday, June 28, 2021. The ECG blamed the blackout on the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo)'s maintenance work on some bulk supply points and transmission cables in Accra. Nana Amoasi VII added that the debts could lead to more outages. So every moment you see the debt rising with the sector and that cash constraints create a lot of maintenance challenges, that affects the reliability of power supply,” he told Citi News.
