Ghana Faces Post-Dumsor Trauma: An Assurance for Energy Stability
As Ghana contends with occasional electricity disruptions, many Ghanaians are experiencing “post-Dumsor trauma”— an intermittent problem as a result of years of severe power outages that once hampered the nation. In a recent video, Dennis Appiah Larbi-Ampofo, a member of the NPP manifesto committee shed light on this shared experience and discussed how historical challenges with electricity shortages shape the collective fear of a potential return to such difficult times.
Ghanaians remember the prolonged power issues in 2014 and 2015, a period marked by extensive blackouts that left homes, businesses, and livelihoods in turmoil. This “Dumsor” era became a national challenge, impacting nearly every aspect of life, from business operations to personal living standards. Reflecting on this, Appiah Larbi noted that “Ghanaians are understandably uneasy whenever there’s even a hint of instability in the electricity supply.” Watch the full video to explore how these traumatic memories influence current public sentiments: Ghana is Experiencing Post DUMSOR Trauma.
Dennis offered a measured view on recent concerns, pointing out that these current issues stem from operational and managerial challenges, and assured that government commitments remain firm in maintaining energy stability. Emphasizing Ghana’s improved energy sector performance over the past eight years by the NPP government, he stated, “Our strategies will ensure that we do not go back to where we’ve come from.”
