Ghana: ECG In Hot Water As PURC Gives 7 Days Order To Provide Detailed Incident Report On Power Outages, Other Matters

The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), the regulator of water and electricity utilities in Ghana, has ordered the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to furnish it with a detailed incident report on power outages for the period – 1st January 2024 to date – by 27th March 2024. Besides, the regulator is asking the power distribution company to provide details on the volume of load curtailed for each power outage incident, energy not served and the number of customers affected. Additionally, the PURC is demanding ECG’s publications informing the general public about power outages from 1st January 2024 to date. The PURC wants the power distribution company to submit copies of all government directives for the purchase of fuel for power generation from August 2023 to date, the total amount of fuel ECG procured for power generation from August 2023 to date, together with fuel supply contracts, invoices, details of fuel quantities, cost, dates and volumes delivered and all pertinent details, details of all bank accounts and investment account currently operated by ECG, and monthly bank and investment statements corresponding to each account, showing balances from August 2023 to date. The orders were contained in a statement issued by the Commission on Tuesday, 19th March 2024. The orders were given based on section (24) (3) of PURC Act, 1997 (Act 538), which states that where required by the Commission on reasonable notice, a public utility shall deliver to the Commission the contracts, reports of engineers, documents, books, accounts and any other records in the possession or control of the public utility and relating to its property or service or affecting its business, or copies verified in the manner specified by the Commission. The Commission cautioned ECG that failure to comply with orders would attract imposition of sanctions on the power distribution company. Ghanaians have bemoaned recent power outages, especially ECG’s operational areas. A section of Ghanaians have appealed to ECG to provide load-shedding management timetable to guide them to plan, but that is yet to be done. ECG is yet to react to the Commission’s regulatory order.   Source: https://energynewsafrica.com

Russia Promises To Defend Oil Infrastructure With Missiles

Russia’s energy ministry has promised to defend its oil and gas infrastructure against Ukranian strikes with missiles, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Artyom Verkhov, the director of the energy ministry’s department for gas industry development, has said that a defensive system is already in the works. “We are jointly working, including with colleagues from the Russian National Guard, to cover objects, on installing, accordingly, protection systems such as Pantsir,” Verkhov said. Ukrainian strikes have so far taken nearly between 370,000 and 900,000 bpd worth of Russia’s refining capacity offline, depending on which analyst estimates are used. Ukraine has carried out a string of refinery attacks using drones in the past few weeks, inflicting significant damage –according to Security Services of Ukraine—to 12 oil and gas processing facilities throughout Russia. With Russia’s refining capacity for Q2 now reduced from missile strikes and seasonal planned and unplanned refinery maintenance expected to take place this quarter, the world’s largest fuel exporter could find its revenues curtailed. According to Bloomberg, Ukraine has targeted a collection of Russian oil refineries that account for 12% of Russia’s oil-processing capacity. Russia already said at the last OPEC+ meeting that it was planning to curb oil production by 350,000 bpd in April, resulting in export cuts of 121,000 bpd. For May, Russia’s production cuts of crude oil are set to climb to 400,000 bpd, with export cuts of 71,000 bpd.   Source: Oilprice.com

Iraq Discusses Nuclear Energy Plans With IAEA

Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani and senior government leaders met Grossi in Baghdad for discussions about the country’s plans and the agency’s support for “peaceful, safe and secure use of nuclear technology in Iraq”. Grossi said: “The IAEA has committed to support the foundations of what should be an entirely peaceful programme here in Iraq. We are living in a world where there is an intense growing interest in nuclear technology… This time we are going to get it right, in strict adherence to the non-proliferation norms and international conventions, which are indispensable.” Iraq is looking at options such as small modular reactors for energy security and water desalinisation projects and has become a contracting party to the Convention on Nuclear Safety, which seeks to ensure countries operating land-based civil nuclear power maintain a high level of safety by establishing fundamental safety principles. There was also discussion about collaboration on nuclear medicine, oncology and radiotherapy, with Grossi saying that through its Rays of Hope programme, which aims to boost availability of nuclear medicine-based treatments, the agency would “give more support, more equipment, more training, more capacity” for Iraq to improve cancer outcomes. Iraq originally joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1969 but, under Saddam Hussein’s leadership, was found in 1990 at the time of the first Gulf War, to be clearly in violation of it. In response, the UN Security Council asked the IAEA to remove, destroy or render harmless Iraq’s nuclear weapons capability, which it did by 1998. But a variety of the country’s nuclear facilities were destroyed by military actions between 1981 and 2003 with facilities also damaged or looted. During the trip Grossi visited the Al Tuwaitha site which was once at the centre of Iraq’s nuclear programme and which is now proposed to become the site of a new low-level radioactive waste repository, designed with IAEA assistance under the European Union’s Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation project. There is currently an IAEA mission to Iraq seeking to help with the development of a national integrated strategy for radioactive waste management, with Grossi saying: “It’s crucial that we bring to a successful and satisfactory phase, the work of decommissioning, the work of remediation of the remnants from the past.”     Source: https:// energynewsafrica.com

Ghana: Bui Power Authority Inaugurates Cashew Factory To Boost Economic Life Of Bui Residents

Ghana’s second largest hydroelectric power generation company – Bui Power Authority (BPA) – has inaugurated a cashew nut processing factory established in partnership with a Chinese investor, Cash-U Company Limited. The factory was inaugurated on Wednesday, 13th March 2024. The project, which commenced in March 2022, is in line with Government of Ghana’s quest to drive industrialisation through the One District, One Factory (1D1F) policy, which aims at establishing at least one factory in every district of the country. Besides, the policy aims at adding value to Ghana’s exports and reducing our import dependence, as well as stimulating overall economic development at the district level. The factory, which was located within the 184,000 hectares of land acquired for the Bui Hydro-power project, was commenced during the time of the former BPA Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Fred Oware. The inauguration of the factory signifies the commitment and support of BPA to leverage local resources for economic development. The Bui enclave has a strong history in cashew farming, with nearly every household engaged in this agricultural activity. Speaking at the inauguration, Mr Samuel Kofi Ahiave Dzamesi, CEO of BPA, highlighted that the Cash-U factory had already created direct job opportunities for approximately 55 locals. It is projected that upon achieving full operational capacity, about 250 direct job opportunities will be created for the indigenes . This initiative is set to improve livelihoods and promote socio-economic empowerment in the region. Mr Dzamesi also expressed his appreciation to the Government and the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for his leadership through the 1D1F initiative, which aims to industrialise the country. Mr. Lionel Wu, CEO of Cash-U Company Ltd, in his speech, expressed gratitude to BPA for its continuous support and commitment to the successful completion of the Cashew factory. He noted that while the factory’s current focus is on processing cashew nuts for export and domestic consumption, future plans include the development and production of cashew oil for local and international markets. In an address, the traditional councils present expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Government of Ghana, facilitated by BPA, for offering employment opportunities to the communities within the Bui enclave. They also encouraged the Government to persist in its endeavour to create more job opportunities, especially for the youth, to reduce poverty and enhance economic growth by leveraging the resources and skills of each district. The inauguration of the factory also aligns with BPA’s Bui City agenda to stimulate economic growth within the communities in the Bui enclave, promote industrialisation, and enhance the economic potential of the area.     Source: https:// energynewsafrica.com

Nigeria: Port Harcourt Receives 450,000 Barrels Of Crude To Begin Operations – Mele Kyari

Port Harcourt Refinery, one of the refineries in Nigeria which has seen a major facelift in recent times, is ready to start operations two weeks from now. This was said by Mele Kyari, Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). He said this during an interaction with the Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Investigation of Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) in the nation’s refineries last Thursday. He assured Nigerians that the delivery date of the Port Harcourt and other refineries remains sacrosanct. “We will make sure that promises that we made about the rehabilitation of these refineries are kept. We did a mechanical completion of PHRC in December. Now, we have crude oil already stocked in it. It is currently undergoing regulatory compliance test before we restream it. I assure you that this refinery will start in next two weeks. “For Warri, we have also done mechanical work on it. It is undergoing regulatory compliance processes that we are doing with our regulators. Kaduna will be ready by December this year, but we have not reached that stage. We believe that it will also be ready on schedule,” he  stated. Kyari explained that, currently, Port Harcourt Refinery had received 450,000 barrels of crude for processing following the mechanical completion of the plant last December. He called for the co-operation of all stakeholders in the rehabilitation process, stressing that “we are all serving this country dutifully and loyally. Nigerians must understand that, gradually, we shall get this task done.” The Senate Ad-hoc Committee is expected to visit the three refineries in Kaduna, Warri and Port Harcourt soon for an on-the-spot assessment of work progress.         Source: https://energynewsafrica.com

Guinea: Two Killed in Protest Over Power Cuts

Two children, ages eight(8) and fourteen (14), were shot dead last Tuesday during protests against repeated power cuts in Kindia city, located east of Guinea’s capital, Conakry. “Two people were killed and 12 injured, including five members of the security forces,” an anonymous doctor at Kindia hospital told AFP. Young people carrying stones took to the streets to demand the return of electricity, according to witnesses contacted by AFP, who described a tense situation in the town, where shops were closed. The army was on patrol in several neighborhoods. Diallo Mamadou Aliou, the brother of the teenager killed on Tuesday denounced the military repression: “I demand that justice.” “The actions of the military are intolerable,” he said as reported by voaafrica.com. Guinea, which is poor despite considerable mineral and natural resources, has endured decades of dictatorial rule and suffers fuel shortages and power cuts. After initial demonstrations on Monday, motorbike taxi drivers joined the movement on Tuesday by honking their horns in discontent. A general strike last month demanded lower food prices, an end to media censorship and the release of a journalist. It was the first such move under the ruling junta, which took power in 2021 and has banned demonstrations and muzzled critics.       Source: https://energynewsafrica.com

Ghana: Two TOR Union Executives Interdicted Over TOR-Torentco Deal Reinstated

The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Ghana’s premier refinery, has reinstated two executives of the General Transport, Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union (GTPCWU) who were interdicted for disclosing information about the controversial TOR-Torentco deal to the media. Anthony Koomson resumed work last week while Serwaa Duncan-Williams is yet to resume work, according to energynewsafrica.com’s sources. This follows a directive by the Energy Minister Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh in a letter dated March 4, 2024, and addressed to the Managing Director Daniel Osei Appiah. “I am by this letter directing Tema Oil Refinery management to recall the affected union workers to work immediately with no loss of entitlements. “Any further investigation and actions must be conducted with due process to ensure fairness to all,” a portion of the letter sighted by energynewsafrica.com reads. It would be recalled that Serwaa Duncan and Anthony Koomson were interdicted by the TOR Board at their 261st sitting on December 13, 2023. The two executives were issued query letters for allegedly speaking to the media about the Tema Oil Refinery and Torentco Asset Management Limited partnership deal and making some comments that sought to bring the reputation of the refinery into disrepute in October 2023. The union executives, in response to the queries, denied the claims by the Board. The national leadership of GTPCWU held a press conference and demanded the reinstatement of the union executives. The Union threatened a national protest to get the union executives back to work. The threat caught the attention of the Minister for Energy and invited the aggrieved persons and the Management of TOR to a meeting to resolve the issue. In a statement issued by the National Chairman of General Transport Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union (GTPCWU) Bernard Owusu, and Iddrisu Fuseini, General Secretary, the union commended the Minister for Energy for his intervention in getting the union executives back to work.       Source: https://energynewsafrica.com

Nigeria: Kaduna Electric Complies With Capping Order…Publishes List Of Refunded Customers

Kaduna Electric, one of the electricity distribution companies in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has complied with the capping order by the country’s electricity regulator, NERC. Kaduna has published the list of customers who have been refunded after being overbilled as directed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). The full list of over 49,000 customers has been uploaded on the company’s website, www.kadunaelectric.com, and published in two national newspapers in compliance with the order. NERC’s Capping Order directs distribution companies to ensure unmetered customers are not billed beyond a certain threshold. The Regulator said in the order that capping is aimed at aligning the estimated bills for unmetered customers with the measured consumption of metered customers on the same supply feeder. In an introductory statement accompanying the list of refunded customers, Kaduna Electric said: “In compliance with the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission’s Order on Non-compliance with Capping of Estimated Bills to unmetered customers for the period of January to September 2023, Kaduna Electric has completed credit adjustment to all affected customers as provided in NERC’s assessment report. “The affected customers will notice a credit adjustment for the cumulative overbilled amount for the period of January to September 2023 on their February 2024 bills which are being delivered as of now.” The company’s Head of Corporate Communication, Abdulazeez Abdullahi, said Kaduna Electric is committed to being a disciplined electricity market participant. Hence, it is ready to comply with all regulations and orders as directed by the regulator. He, however, said it is incumbent on customers to also endeavour to settle their debts for electricity consumed. Not doing so, he said jeopardises the efforts at resuscitating Kaduna Electric. He reiterated that prompt payment of bills and tolerance to all forms of energy theft is paramount in ensuring the power sector functions effectively.  

Ghana: Health Ministry In Hot Water As ECG Threatens To Cut Electricity Supply To 91 Hospitals Over GH¢261 Million Debt

Ghana’s power distribution company responsible for electricity distribution in the south – Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) – has issued demand notices to 91 hospitals with outstanding bills, warning them of disconnection from the national grid if they fail to settle their debts within 72 hours. The health facilities, which are in the Greater Accra, Western, Eastern, Volta, Central and Ashanti regions, owe ECG a combined outstanding amount of GH¢261 million. Some of the health facilities are Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, 37 Military Hospital, and Ridge Hospital in the Greater Accra Region; Komfo Anokye and Manhyia Government hospitals in the Ashanti Region; Ho Teaching Hospital in the Volta Region, and Kibi Government Hospital in the Eastern Region. This action is part of ECG’s broader strategy to recover customer debts to bolster its operational capacity. The Ministry of Health has responded to the warning issued by ECG to the 91 hospitals, urging them to settle their outstanding bills within 72 hours or face disconnection. Mr Isaac Baah Offei, who speaks for the Health Ministry, told Accra-based Adom FM on Wednesday, 13th March 2024, that his outfit was fully aware of the situation and was actively seeking to resolve it. He said plans were underway to meet with the heads of the hospitals to explore possible solutions, including reconciliation processes. “Efforts to settle the debts were initiated last year, and meetings are being held with all affected hospitals,” he added. Mr. Offei acknowledged that some payments had been made but said the outstanding debts must be settled.
