Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party, Yaw Buaben Asamoa has described the recent intermittent power outages in the country as a “different” one as opposed to that from former president John Mahama’s era.
According to him, the infrastructure for the transmission lines have come under huge pressure hence the reasons for the outages.
Speaking on JoyNews NewsFile programme, Yaw Buaben Asamoa urged citizens to be patient with the government and energy sector players as they find workable means to solve the problem.
“This dumsor is a different kind of dumsor. We must accept it and move on because the infrastructure for transmission has come under huge pressure. It is important that we accept that there is a problem and that the problem is going to be worked on” the communications director said.

A survey on the opportunities and challenges to renewable energy’s adoption by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have called for cost reduction policies as incentives to promote their growth, a survey report has shown.
The measures should include reducing the cost of renewable energy technology installation, reliability of supply from RE power plants and reduced cost of power from RE sources.
The survey also stressed the need for the provision of information in readily accessible formats and engaging stakeholders, especially small businesses on RE adoption.
The Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP),which conducted the survey, also showed revealed financial challenges, high investment cost, limited credit facilities and limited knowledge on RE technologies as some of the barriers to the adoption of RE.
