Ghana is on the verge of reliving the dreaded “Dumsor” era due to an acute fuel shortage for power generation, with just two days of stock left.
Reports reveal that thermal plants, reliant on heavy fuel oil and diesel, are critically low on supplies, risking widespread power outages if immediate action isn’t taken.
This alarming crisis coincides with the recent inauguration of President John Mahama, placing urgent pressure on his administration to address the issue swiftly. Critics have pointed fingers at the outgoing government for failing to secure adequate fuel supplies despite warnings during the transition period.
Public concerns are growing, with heated debates on social media and calls for swift intervention to prevent power disruptions.
The crisis has also sparked discussions on the need for long-term energy solutions, emphasizing renewable energy and reducing dependence on imported fuels.
Hydropower, though vital, cannot fully compensate for the thermal shortfall due to its limitations.
This critical juncture highlights the importance of strategic energy management and investment to secure Ghana’s energy future and prevent recurrent crises.
