Accra, March 19, — The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has assured that all Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Ghana will be made public as part of measures to promote transparency in the energy sector.
The Minister gave the assurance during a working visit by the Open Government Partnership Caucus, where discussions focused on strengthening openness and accountability in public sector agreements.
A statement issued by David Sebastian Damoah said the Ministry would establish a dedicated website to publish all PPAs for easy public access.
The initiative is expected to allow citizens, civil society organisations and industry stakeholders to access power agreements and better understand contractual arrangements within the electricity sector.
Addressing concerns over power deals
Power Purchase Agreements have long been a subject of public debate in Ghana due to concerns about procurement processes, cost structures and their impact on electricity tariffs.
The Open Government Partnership Caucus has been engaging state institutions as part of efforts to implement Ghana’s National Action Plan on transparency, accountability and open governance.
Mr Jinapor noted that making PPAs publicly accessible would strengthen public confidence in the energy sector and improve accountability in the management of power sector contracts.
