The Ministry of Energy is anticipating a further drop in electricity tariffs as the country works to increase the use of gas by power generation plants.

This it believes should bring respite to consumers.

Following promises of relieving the burden on consumers of electricity, Deputy Energy Minister in charge of Finance, Joseph Cudjoe stated hopes of a drop in electricity tariffs as part of assurances to the public in the wake of recent power outages and the impact on users of electricity.

The comment also followed the shutdown of the gas processing plant at Atuabo in the Western region and its effect on power supply to some parts of the country.

The Managing Director of the Tema Oil Refinery, Isaac Osei has confirmed that the facility has taken delivery of diesel and heavy fuel for VRA and AKSA energy respectively.

The products are expected to be transported to the companies to sustain the generation of power.
