<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians that the era of power outages, popularly known as &#8220;Dumsor,&#8221; will soon be a thing of the past.</strong></p>



<p>Addressing the recent power challenges, the President explained that the disruptions were caused by a gas supply issue, not financial constraints, but managerial inefficiencies.</p>



<p>According to President Akufo-Addo, measures have been taken to restore stability in the power sector. &#8220;The Sunon Asogli Thermal Power Station, which was shut down some months ago, has resumed operations.</p>



<p>Today, we can confidently assure the country of an uninterrupted power supply. Management is now secured and stable,&#8221; he stated.</p>



<p>The Sunon Asogli Power (Ghana) Limited recently restarted its 560 MW power plant after interventions by Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam and Energy Minister Herbert Krapa. </p>

<p>The ministers facilitated the release of emergency funds to address the company&#8217;s operational challenges.</p>



<p>The power plant ceased operations in October 2024 due to the Electricity Company of Ghana&#8217;s (ECG) inability to settle outstanding payments, which had left Sunon Asogli financially strained. By September 2024, the ECG owed the power company $259 million (excluding fuel costs).</p>



<p>President Akufo-Addo&#8217;s reassurance signals a positive development for Ghanaians, who have long called for a permanent resolution to the nation&#8217;s recurring energy crises. This move is expected to bring relief to households and businesses that have been affected by the power outages.</p>
