In a critical move to bolster Ghana’s energy infrastructure, President John Dramani Mahama convened a meeting with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) on January 13, 2025. The primary agenda was to tackle the financial sustainability issues plaguing the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), which has been a significant concern for both the government and the populace. Discussions centered around the need for a robust framework to ensure that ECG can manage its finances effectively, preventing the recurrence of power crises that have historically affected the nation’s economic activities and daily life.

President Mahama emphasized the necessity of collaborative efforts between the government and private sector stakeholders to reform the power distribution system. The dialogue with IPPs focused on strategies to optimize the use of existing resources, address the debt issues within the sector, and explore innovative solutions for sustainable power supply.

The meeting also touched upon the potential for privatizing aspects of ECG’s operations to introduce efficiency and reduce the financial burden on the state, a proposal that has been on the table for some time but now appears to be moving towards practical implementation.
