The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdullai Jinapor, has announced a planned nationwide power outage, commonly referred to as dumsor, scheduled for Sunday, July 13, 2025, citing critical maintenance work on the national power transmission infrastructure.

According to him, the interruption comes as gas supplier ENI plans to shut off its valves to carry out rehabilitation works, which forms part of ENI’s broader plan to boost gas production capacity to 270 million standard cubic feet (MM Scarf) and upgrade activities aimed at stabilising the national grid and enhancing long-term energy delivery.

“This Sunday, ENI will turn off their valves temporarily to increase gas production to about 270 MM Scarf. It means that we are stabilising the energy sector… because the plant will be turned off for a short period within the day for maintenance work, we are likely to experience some interruption of power. It is for a good purpose.”

The planned outage will affect homes, businesses, and essential services across.

Jinapor made this known at a groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction of the 161 kV Anwomaso to Kumasi transmission line.

The project, which is co-founded by the European Union and the Government of France, will deal with low voltage in Kumasi and Dukwaw mining areas, as well as deal with inefficiencies in the system.

He stated that, based on advice from technical persons, the government has resolved to refrain from running the plant on liquid fuels.

“Based on the advice from engineers, I have directed that we do not attempt to run those plants on liquid fuel for that short period,” he stated.

Jinapor indicated that, “It involves changing nozzles, it involves a lot of work, and so if we are going off for about six hours, you don’t risk it transitioning to liquid fuel only to come back to gas.”

He further assured of efforts to minimise the adverse impact of the shutdown.

This marks the first time in recent years that the government has declared a planned nationwide dumsor, rekindling memories of the severe power crises that plagued the country between 2013 and 2016.
