Deputy Energy and Green Transition Minister-Designate Richard Gyan-Mensah has dismissed claims that Ghana is experiencing a resurgence of the prolonged power outages known as ‘dumsor.’
Speaking before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, Gyan-Mensah acknowledged instances of localized power interruptions but stressed that these do not amount to a nationwide crisis.
“I want to assure my brother that ‘dumsor’ is not back. We all experienced the period of dumsor, and we know what we went through in terms of even the time when the light goes off. There were schedules and all those things.
“What we see now, I can’t deny the fact that there have been some pockets of lights going off in some areas. But that is not something that can be described as ‘dumsor,’” he stated.
He assured that the outages would subside once maintenance work on various power plants is completed and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring that ‘dumsor’ does not return.
