VRA Board Chairman calls for proportional power cuts to Ghana’s neighbours during shortages

Board Chairman of the Volta River Authority (VRA), Jabesh Amissah-Arthur, has called for a proportional approach to power supply reductions to Ghana’s neighbouring countries whenever the country faces electricity shortages.

Mr Amissah-Arthur said completely cutting off power to neighbouring markets could have long-term commercial implications for Ghana.

He said Ghana should avoid completely cutting off power supplies to neighbouring countries during periods of shortfalls, arguing that such customers remain important markets for the country.
