Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor
The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has issued a stern warning to State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to stop misusing electricity.
In an interview with Metro TV on Wednesday, March 26, Jinapor emphasised that power is no longer free and must be paid for in full.
“Power is no longer free. We must all pay for the power that we use,” he stated.
He urged SOEs to change their attitudes towards electricity consumption to avoid financial challenges in the energy sector.
Jinapor warned that failure to do so could have dire implications for the sector.
“If we don’t change our attitudes, we will run into huge problems,” he indicated.
According to onuaonline.com, he highlighted the importance of efficiency in power usage, particularly among SOEs, which he accused of excessive consumption without adequate financial accountability.
To address these issues, Jinapor called for institutions to prioritise energy conservation and payment compliance.
He reiterated the government’s commitment to enforcing payment regulations and urged for stricter measures to prevent financial losses in the energy sector.
As the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor has been a strong advocate for renewable energy and sustainable development.
He has emphasised the need for collective action to support Ghana’s energy transition efforts.
