Ghanaians are waiting keenly for the Karpower’s 255 megawatts power barges to hit the shores of the country from Turkey, hoping for it to rescue us from the current energy crisis- nicknamed ‘dumsor’ in our local parlance.
Government officials have continuously emphasised that Ghana needs these power barges to improve the current conditions. However, energy expert Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobby has asserted that there is no need for government to bring in the power barges because the country is no longer in an emergency situation—compared to a year ago when the deal was struck.
