Adomako-Mensah rebukes PURC over silence on recent power outages
Collins Adomako-Mensah criticised the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) for failing to publicly address the recent power disruptions affecting several parts of the country. Adomako-Mensah stated, "I am surprised PURC is very quiet. This was the same PURC, which in 2024 sanctioned board members for failing to provide a timetable for a dysfunction causing disruption to the Ghanaian consumer."
The concerns follow intermittent electricity outages linked to a fire incident at a Ghana Grid Company facility near the Akosombo Dam, as well as ongoing transformer upgrade works in some areas. Speaking on Channel One TV on May 2, 2026, the lawmaker expressed concern over the continued absence of communication from the Commission despite widespread reports of electricity fluctuations across the country.
Adomako-Mensah insisted that the regulator has a duty to keep consumers informed during periods of unstable power supply. He questioned why the PURC had remained silent this time, after previously taking action against officials over similar power supply challenges.
