"Gas from Nigeria" whilst we also have gas from the oil exploration. Why are we not tappping our own gas ? Why this dependency attitude. Unless someone gives us something we can't do s_it ! Another example: we have water from rain, many rivers, and the sea, yet we lack water for home use. We are waiting for the World Bank to give us money to buy a pump for the water. SO PATHETIC !

Don't count your eggs before they hatch. Why give a fixed date knowing damn well, the possibility for the crises to continue is very high. Stop the promises, Ghanaians are sick & tired of being disappointed.

We never have this excessive power outages during Kufuor administration. And besides, NPP is not in power and so, stop blaming, justifying, complaining and find solution to our problems.

It is time Ghanaian eschew partisanship, nepotism and tribalism and become more objective. The views we hold about performance is what is underdeveloping the country. If someone at the helm of affairs is not performing we must all accept that this or that person is underperorming and be fired or dispensed of without invoking the partisanship, nepotism or tribalism flags.

We've been told this story over and over before. What baffles the mind is where Mahama's promise to offer Bukuna Fasso and Togo some of our power supply fits in this new megawatt arrangement to keep us going without interruption. Was it a thoughtless promise made with little understanding of the depth of our supply problems or a mere publicity stunt to gain applause as a new sheriff in town to solve all regional problems ?
Quidquid id est I fear these old promises. April 30 is not too far away. We are waiting !

IF ALL PROJECTS INITIATED BY THE KUFUOR ADMINISTRATION HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO PROCEED WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION, WE WOULD NOT HAVE THESE DUMSO DUMOS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE BUI DAM WAS DELAYED FOR 16 MONTHS TO PHASE OUT THE BOARD AND TO REPLACE IT WITH THE ONE POPULATED BY THE LIKES OF ASIEDU NKETIA SO THAT HE CAN DOUBLE AS A BOARD MEMBER AND SUPPLIER.

THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN GHANA

Oh Ghana, shame on VRA and all other so called energy authorities who I believe have lived abroad before and know what goes on in the energy sector, yet, are very happy the way a small country of ours cannot have electricty for even a week.

Empty promises changes nothing. NDC has already looted the coffers of the nation so Ghana still has the worse to fear.

Ghana should not rely on Nigeria for a critical need like electricity. They can't even fix their own mess. We should rather focus on getting our own mix of energy resources.

A country that boast the largest man made hydroelectrical dam, continue to have chronic power outages and has to rely on its neighbor for power. Are these people in VRA that incompetent?

We have started solar power on a small scale, providing energy to small villages and powering street lights in Accra.

Why not extend these to more villages and streets lights elsewhere? How about using solar as a backup for clinics and hospitals? This would, at least, reduce the pressure on the national grid.

Solar may be expensive initially, but is cost-effective in the long run.

We must also explore wind power and bio-gas.
