John Jinapor reveals that Ghana’s fuel supply for electricity generating is going to run out.

The Yapei-Kusawgu seat’s Member of Parliament (MP), John Abdulai Jinapor, has warned that the country is now experiencing a serious energy crisis as a result of a lack of fuel for the production of power.

He asserted that the departing Nana-Addo-led government failed to make the necessary gasoline purchases despite repeated demands and warnings. “I’m sorry to inform you of this.

We have barely five hours of fuel left as of right now, according to the confirmation we are getting,” he stated.

He went on to say that the country’s current fuel supply won’t last more than two days for electricity generating.

We don’t have enough diesel and heavy fuel to survive two days, if you look at that.

We will therefore probably run out of petrol in two days. “As of right now, this administration has not issued any fuel orders,” he said.

After President John Mahama was sworn in on January 7 in Accra, he spoke with the media. One of Ghana’s most pressing needs is the energy mix and usage.

Ghana’s energy landscape is defined by a variety of energy sources, including hydroelectric power, solar energy, thermal energy (natural gas, crude oil, and diesel), and other renewables.

The country’s energy policy is to ensure a reliable and sustainable energy supply to meet its growing demand, which is being driven by population growth, industrialisation, and urbanisation.

Hydropower, which makes up between 30 and 40 percent of the energy mix, has historically been a major source of electricity in Ghana.

The Akosombo, Kpong, and Bui dams are the primary hydroelectric plants. However, the use of hydropower has declined over time due to the unpredictability of rainfall patterns.
