Speaking in an interview monitored by African Editors on Tuesday 3 August 2021 in Accra, Executive Director of Institute of Energy Security (IES) Nana Amoasi VII said “the latest conflict between ECG and GRIDCO could be attributed to the huge debt ECG owes GRIDCO”.

The IES Executive Director has urged Energy Commission to immediately take urgent steps to resolve the matter.

“The ECG and GRIDCO serve under Energy Commission, so… it should table over the issue and resolve the matter because power sector conflicts is not a good one”.

Meanwhile, government is set to amend Petroleum Management Act to allow Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) to scale up acquisition of oil blocks.
