The Institute for Energy Policies and Research (INSTEPR), an energy sector think tank, has called for the creation of two new ministries to handle power and oil and gas to ensure the effective management of the sectors.
“We strongly believe that the time has come for the creation of two new ministries, Ministry of Power and Ministry for Oil and Gas, to properly manage the sector,” the institute suggested.
In its 2021 outlook and expectations in the energy sector, the institute observed that the growth of the sector had made it impossible for a single ministry to properly manage the entire energy sector.
The 2021 outlook and expectations in the energy sector
Over the past decade, Ghana’s Energy sector has grown to become the backbone of the economy. The discovery of Oil and Gas in commercial quantities afforded the government extra revenue aside our traditional exports. The sector now contributes immensely to our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and reduced our reliance on imported gas for power generation. Due to lack of planning by successive governments, the sector experienced power outages in 2012 which lasted for 4 years.
The Institute For Energy Policies and Research (INSTEPR) wants to highlight some key areas that need attention in 2021 and beyond. The Institute will publish a barometer every 6 months to measure the government’s success in the implementation of the STRATEGIC NATIONAL ENERGY PLAN (SNEP 2030) and the ENERGY SECTOR RECOVERY PROGRAM (ESRP).
