The Power Planning Technical Committee (PPTC), the frame liable for the drafting of the 2022 Electricity Supply Plan, has said that opposition to the claims of NDC MP, John Jinapor and rating Member of Parliament’s Mines and Energy Committee, that ‘dumsor’ is coming near, there may be no such risk.
The PPTC, installation through the Energy Minister to, amongst others, expand making plans reviews for Ghana’s energy device, making this factor in an assertion issued on Friday thirteenth May 2022 and signed through its Chairman, Ing. Frank Otchere, in response to an in advance declare through Mr. Jinapor on ninth May 2022 on some of the troubles bearing on the energy sector.
Dumsor Reacting in particular to Mr. Jinapor’s declaration that “the present era capacities will now no longer be good enough to serve the projected call for with 18% reserve margins for any of the making plans years’, on which foundation he anticipated the upcoming go back of ‘dumsor’, the committee defined that consistent with the 2022 Electricity Plan (ESP), the united states of America had overall set up era capability of 5,265.1MW, with reliable capability status at 4,706.”
With a projected annual height call for going as much as 4,793MW in 2026, the committee said that it's far apparent that each the setup capability and reliable capability are in extra of height call for, and consequently, there can't be coming near near ‘dumsor’ has become portrayed.
Explaining similarly, the committee said that ‘dumsor’ best happens while the real call for is better than what the device is capable of generating, and clarified that the extra call for endorsed in its file is best required to offer more capability to function a reserve. Future Generation Needs The committee similarly clarified that during recommending similarly era capability between 2023 and 2027 (a complete of 822 MW), this best refers to a sensitivity evaluation on capability requirement withinside the occasion that the Bui Hydro Plant is capable of running best on two (2) devices in preference to three (3) in the course of the height period.
“This scenario is rare, and become analysed best as a sensitivity situation withinside the not likely occasion of one of this scenario”, the assertion stated. Gas Supply On the declare through Mr Jinapor that the file negates the argument of Ghana having extra fuel line, main to capability payments, the assertion rebuts that with a declare that the advice of the ESP 2022 for preparations to boom fuelling deliver did now no longer mean buying new fuel line facilities. Rather, the assertion stated it become best alerting that call for is developing and consequently there has been the want to make preparations to boom volumes of fuel line furnished from the present fuel line facilities.
In conclusion, the assertion reiterated that there may be no coming near dumsor as has been alleged, and similarly, that there may be the capability to be had to boom fuelling deliver for a further era in Ghana, “accordingly, the troubles quoted can't be referred to discredit the declaration of extra capability at the Ghana energy device”.
