The 2024 State Ownership Report shows 35 of 54 state-owned enterprises turned a profit, but the sector posted a net loss of GH¢9.68 billion after tax, worse than the GH¢7.14 billion loss in 2023, driven by losses at a handful of giant utilities and currency revaluation effects from the weakening cedi.
Persistent losses by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) pose a risk to Ghana's fiscal balance and debt sustainability following the IMF bailout, according to a corporate governance consultant. The article contextualizes Ghana's SOE sector from independence through economic crises of the 1980s–90s, which reduced government capacity to finance operations and worsened SOE performance.

The Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has written to President Mahama warning that recurring power outages, known as "dumsor," are destroying businesses and livelihoods, with cold store operators, restaurants, salons and small-scale manufacturers particularly affected. He also criticised the GHS1 fuel levy, which was justified as a measure to stabilise electricity supply and reduce fuel prices, yet outages have worsened and fuel costs have risen.
Annoh-Dompreh has written an open letter to President Mahama calling for executive intervention on energy sector challenges including a resurgence of power cuts, the plight of cocoa farmers facing price cuts and lost investments, food security concerns, and an institutional crisis at the Environmental Protection Authority.
Professor Douglas Boateng argues that while solar should lead Africa's energy strategy for the next six years due to its speed and modularity, sustainable energy security requires a disciplined integration of hydro, gas, thermal, wind, geothermal, bioenergy, ocean wave, and nuclear power—not dependence on any single source.
Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Ampem Nyarko attributed Ghana's recent struggles with inflation, currency volatility, and debt restructuring to weak internal controls, poor risk management, and lack of accountability at leadership levels. He stated that institutions weaken gradually when governance is compromised, and warned that the costs included billions in public funds lost and erosion of public trust.
Ing. Prof. Douglas Boateng argues that Ghana's electricity challenge is fundamentally one of coordination across the entire supply chain—generation, transmission, and distribution—rather than production capacity alone, and that systems fail from lack of coordinated attention rather than lack of strength.
A disruption at Akosombo exposed risks in Ghana's centralised power grid, with potential loss of up to 1,000MW of transmission capacity—about 25 per cent of peak demand—affecting households, hospitals and businesses. The incident highlights why Ghana must rethink reliance on hydropower and move toward decentralised energy systems.
