Ghana Faces Power Crisis as Karpowership Threatens Shutdown Over $379m Debt

Ghana is on the brink of a power crisis as Karpowership, the operator of a floating power plant at Aboadze, threatens to halt operations over an outstanding $379 million debt owed by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

The situation was disclosed during a meeting on Monday between the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, and officials from Karpowership.

In an appeal to the company, Mr. Jinapor urged for patience while the new administration works to settle the debt.

“We acknowledge the severity of the situation and are committed to finding a sustainable solution to address the financial obligations. We appeal to our partners to bear with us as we navigate these challenges,” the minister stated.

Economic Implications of a Potential Shutdown

Industry experts warn that if Karpowership follows through on its threat, Ghana could face widespread power shortages, severely impacting businesses, industries, and households.

The country’s energy sector is already under significant financial strain, with total debts surpassing $3 billion as of January 12, 2025.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns about the sector’s financial health, cautioning that without urgent reforms, Ghana’s power industry risks collapse.

The IMF has recommended a series of interventions, including cost-cutting measures, improved revenue collection, and a restructuring of power agreements to ensure long-term sustainability.

With mounting financial pressure and potential disruptions to electricity supply, the government faces a crucial challenge in stabilizing the sector and avoiding a repeat of past power crises.
