Renegotiated power deals save Ghana $13.2bn – Finance Minister

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has disclosed that government has saved $13.2 billion from renegotiated power deals with six Independent Power Producers (IPPs).

According to him, the companies are Karpower, Cenpower, Early Power, Twin City Energy (formerly Amandi), AKSA Energy and Cenit.

“These renegotiated agreements are expected to have savings estimated at $13.2 billion over the life of the PPAs through a combination of reduced capacity and energy charges. In other words, we are saving the Ghanaian taxpayer $13.2 billion from power contracts signed by the previous administration,” Mr. Ofori-Atta said at parliament on Monday during the Mid-Year Budget presentation.

He maintained that the renegotiated deal provides balanced, sustainable energy partnerships that has led to affordable power for industrial, commercial and residential use.

Touching on happenings in the energy sector, Mr. Ofori-Atta said the raft of sanctions imposed on Russia are tightening supply conditions for energy products.

In response, he stated that government is closely monitoring the stock of products at all depots.
