“The timetable always exists, they just need to activate it so I don’t know why there is always a situation to always hesitate to actually activate it. They know when they are going to take off the light, so [they should] just tell us,” he said.

The energy think tank last year predicted the comeback of the electricity crisis in 2017.
In a report titled ‘Beyond 2016 Elections, Energy Sector Priorities’, ACEP warned the return in April 2017 of the much-dreaded electricity crisis, popularly known as dumsor.
According to ACEP, dumsor’s comeback will be as a result of the inadequacy of fuel to power Ghana’s generation plants.
"Fuel supply has become more challenging as thermal generation will continue to dominate the sector”, the report said.

The power sector is regularly saddled with fuel shortages, especially gas, as the country struggles in order to pay its debts.
However, John Jinapor, the then Deputy Minister of Power indicated that the country had made significant preparations for the future deficit.
