Government has reaffirmed its commitment to transforming the nation’s energy landscape, announcing significant breakthroughs in rural electrification, debt restructuring, and international financial credibility.
Speaking at the launch of the Ghana Gas Ladies Association on March 11, Deputy Chief of Staff Nana Oye Bampoe Addo detailed the administration’s recent successes in stabilizing the power sector and expanding energy access to rural areas.
“Engagements with the nine independent power producers have resulted in $250 million in immediate savings and $10 million of debt restructured for payments in the period 2026 to 2028,” she stated.
Nana Oye also highlighted the progress of the government’s Rural Electrification Programme.
“Under the Rural Electrification Programme, 200 out of 400 communities have been connected to the national grid, bringing the national electricity access rate to 89.05%.”
Nana Oye Bampoe Addo praised the Ghana Gas Ladies Association as a “pivotal platform” for ensuring gender diversity in a traditionally male-dominated sector.
