The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Dormaa East, Mr Paul Apraku Twum Barimah, has described the allegations made by the Minority in Parliament on load shedding as calculated to tarnish the image of the government.
In an interview with the media, the communication and energy specialist said there was no nationwide load shedding and that the government had no intention of embarking on load shedding as alleged by the Minority.
“We are not in energy crises as claimed by the Minority, and the government has not planned any load shedding. What the Minority is trying to do is to incite the general public against the government. They are doing everything they can to create tension and confusion between the public and the government but I tell you, they will not succeed,” he said.
Ghana loses $100m on Gridlines Power losses every year UK energy expert claims Listen to article
A UK-based Ghanaian Energy Expert in power generation, transmission and distribution, Ing. Peter Antwi Boasiako, has stated in his recent analysis posted on his Facebook that, about 124MW power is lost out of 3,100MW power supplied on the transmission lines due to GRIDCo s failure to install capacitor banks/Static Var Compensators (SVCs) at the substations for power factor correction, and this is costing Ghana more than $100 million in a year on transmission lines and in the distribution system.
According to Engineer Antwi Boasiako, gleaning from GRIDCo s 2020 Electricity Supply Plan for Ghana Power System, concedes that the transmission system has been performing poorly on the basis of transmission losses and voltage violations. That, the transmission loses in particular has been a consistent and recurrent challenge over the years.
