The Ghanaian Ministry of Power has announced an end to load shedding in a statement released on Wednesday December 30.
The announcement is timely and significant as Ghanaians were eagerly looking forward to the resignation of the Power Minister Dr. Kwabena Donkor, who had repeatedly promised to resign by the end of the year if load shedding or ‘dumsor’ persists.
It is however unclear what this announcement means considering that the Power Minister recently gave different meanings to dumsor and load shedding.
In his view, load shedding occurs when there is inadequate power and so consumers share what is available.
He said dumsor which he explained as intermittent outages, is caused by technical faults which can happen at any time and cannot always be controlled.

Ex-INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, in Ghana, Urges Peaceful Elections
A former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega, has said elections in African countries need not generate conflicts as they often do.
Mr. Jega said with the right mindset by all actors, elections should rather help to unify the people, the media adviser to the former INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu, said in a statement.
According to him, African countries must work together to promote peace and stability on the continent, and each country should work at reforming its electoral system towards deepening democracy and ensuring that the vote of the people truly count.
“Elections do not have to create conflicts, and our countries need not be so conflict-prone because of elections. Democracy should promote good governance, and elections, which are essential to democracy, should help to unify our people,” he said.
Professor Jega spoke in Ghana during a five-day visit to the country at the instance of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Ghana, which invited him to come share Nigeria’s experience of the 2015 general election with Ghanaian stakeholders as the country prepares for its presidential and parliamentary elections in 2016. The visit ends on Friday, 18th December 2015.
IEA Ghana, a frontline think-tank, invited the former INEC Chairman to the country as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations.
