The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) will be meeting the Power Ministry over the weekend to review the ongoing load-shedding exercise.<\/p>\n
The three-day conference follows complaints by the Association on the failure of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to strictly adhere to the load-shedding time table.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”B72RJt0Nim9lTu6p5h9llBkJeygNye80″]On December 1, 2014, ECG extended the load-shedding exercise to all industrial enclaves across the country to help lessen the worsening energy crisis.<\/p>\n
Some companies are reportedly laying off workers while some have significantly reduced the salaries of their workers due to the power crisis.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi Business News<\/strong>, the President of the AGI, James Asare-Adjei said the meeting will afford AGI an opportunity to explain to its members, concerns and energy needs to the new Power Minister.<\/p>\n \u201cYou are aware of the challenges that industry is facing now with the power in the country. I would like us to talk about it so the association can be a little more substantive in the figures that are being sent around.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor this reason we are having a roundtable discussion with the Power Ministry which will have the Minister himself with us for three days and after that, we will issue a communiqu\u00e9 to come out very strongly to indicate the way forward on the power crises we are having as a country,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Norvan Acquah\u2013Hayford\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) will be meeting the Power Ministry over the weekend to review the ongoing load-shedding exercise.
