there's is just too many incomplete gas projects. The fastest solution is findoney and buy gas from Nigeria to power the plants in Ghana .

NDC is bringing out a plan B to loot and share again, even before the IMF money arrives.

the Ghana govnment just losses interest in any projects after the 10% cut so is always looking for a fresh 10% solution instead of completing the one he started with.

Another idea; get a reduced tax and royalty regime for a certain period for big business like mines,factories to have their own power generation. incentives for large users and the public who conserve power. Get more gas usages in homes and all facets of Ghanaian life.The current ECG billing system does not reward any one to save but rather exploitative.

An organises bunch of criminals are now in charge of this country. How can Ethiopia build 3 airports at $23million dollars each, but Ghana installs only lights for night landing at Kumasi for 29million dollars. The cost of 100million dollar Tamale is inflated 4 times. This amount of money can build us 4 airports at Ho,Cape Coast,Sunyani and Wa.

The ‘now’ solutions as currently proposed by the experts ignore the fact that individuals and other private groups could also be instrumental in resolving the ongoing ‘Dumsor’ problem. If government is determined to solve the problem at the individual level, then it must drastically ease or remove all duties and levies for alternative energy sources; those who could afford to bring in the solar lamps, solar panels and wind generators - and associated controllers, inverters, batteries, etc. for individual use – must be vigorously encouraged to do so. I just cleared a 1kW wind generator through Customs last week – no customs charges, but other levies amounted to GHC 428, plus local shipping company handling charges amounted to GHC 710 (after already having paid USDollars 210 to the sellers for the cost of shipment). The clearance process from the harbour also took two weeks – go, come, GCNET has not processed the request, etc. Government must also lean on local shipping companies to minimize charges for solar/wind goods to the barest minimum. Let us make solar, wind and other alternative small-scale power systems as common place as we now find mobile phones everywhere in Ghana. ECG would then be free to cater mainly for heavy industry and other SMEs to continue with their businesses uninterrupted. Indeed, the Energy Ministry has proposed the distribution of Net-meters - which would enable owners of alternative energy sources to upload excess energy during peak hours to the grid - such consumers would then be credited with reductions in their ECG bills, by letting the meters run backwards, when individuals produce power for ECG. Remember, if only a million of us produce solar/wind energy at an average of 1kW during the peak hours, would equal to 1000MW – which is about the same capacity as the Akosombo dam!

Simple, take domestic and street lighting out of the equation by sourcing power from solar. I use solar lamps, leave them out by day and use them for 6 hours by night. Every household should have them. Replace power-hungry streetlights with solar streetlamps. Do the sums 'Energy experts'. So much education going to waste.

Solar and wind power is the future of Ghana. Government should look to the future and not day by day.
