The Paramount Chief of the Pulima Traditional Area, Kuoro Osman Deiwia Nankpa III, has expressed concern over the persistent power outages in the Upper West Region, despite the existence of two solar power plants in the area.

According to the Chief, the solar plants have a combined capacity of over 30 megawatts, yet residents continue to suffer frequent blackouts, a situation he described as unacceptable and worrying.

Kuoro Nankpa III questioned why the region, which contributes significantly to the country’s renewable energy generation, still grapples with unreliable power supply.

He is therefore calling on NEDCO and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and other relevant authorities to provide clear answers and ensure that the people of Upper West benefit fully from the energy resources within their region.

He spoke during the Multi-Year Major Tariff Review Public Hearing organised by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission in Wa.

    This is an important and timely report that sheds light on a very real challenge facing the Upper West Region. 👏 Your piece effectively amplifies the voice of Paramount Chief Kuoro Osman Deiwia Nankpa III, whose concern reflects the frustration of many citizens who see the irony of living near renewable energy plants yet enduring frequent power cuts.

    The clarity of your writing allows readers to grasp both the technical and human sides of the issue — the contrast between solar capacity and unreliable supply is presented powerfully and succinctly. By citing the Chief’s call for accountability from NEDCO and ECG, you highlight the need for transparency and equitable energy distribution, giving the story both depth and purpose.
