A Director of the African Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP), Peter Amewu, has said\u00a0the power crisis being experienced in Ghana cannot be solely attributed to the labour unrest in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
According to him, the inability of the generation plants in Takoradi to function properly is also a ,contributing factor adding that,\u00a0Ghana will continue to experience shortfalls in its power supply until the water level in the Akosombo dam rises up.<\/p>\n
The commitment from the Nigerian government to ensure the continuous supply of gas to Ghana to operate its thermal power plants has been in question in recent months.<\/p>\n
The situation was compounded after workers of the Nigerian National\u00a0Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) embarked on a strike over their pensions.<\/p>\n
