There’s No Dumsor But……… – Energy Ministry

Public Relations Officer for the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, Isaac Agyei Kwakye, has denied the return of “dumsor” (erratic power supply), attributing recent outages to isolated issues, such as faulty cables, rather than generation problems.

This comes on the back of numerous complaints from Ghanaians over the erratic power supply situation, urging the government to resolve the situation.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Monday, April 28, he underscored that recent power outages are isolated cases, not indicative of a broader “dumsor” situation.

According to him, he explained that issues like faulty cables were being addressed, adding that these isolated problems shouldn’t be misconstrued as a generation-related crisis.

He cited examples of localised outages, such as the recent issue at Coco Beach and parts of Nungua, as evidence that these were specific problems rather than a widespread power supply issue.

“There is no ‘dumsor’. There is nothing like ‘dumsor’ and ‘dumsor’ is not back. There have been isolated cases. I stay in Accra at Madina, and I can tell you that I don’t remember the last time I slept in the dark. What it means is that the cables there are not faulty.

“If the cable is faulty, then certainly it has to be worked on. Recently, at Coco Beach, there was a problem. Parts of Nungua were off. Others were in the light, which tells you that there is nothing like dumsor. There is a problem that has to be fixed, which has nothing to do with generation. You can’t term that as dumsor,” he said.

He added that the ministry is working to ensure a stable power supply through regular stakeholder meetings.
