The theme for the forum is “Dumsor Returns: An Evaluation of the Power Sector in Ghana: Opportunities and Challenges (Economic Crisis).

The forum is slated for Tuesday, November 28, 2021, at 11 a.m. on the premises of GIMPA-Graduate Block Lot 1.

The forum will be addressed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Independent Power Producers, Ghana, Dr. Elikplim Kwabla Apetorgbor, who will explore the challenges in Ghana's power sector, particularly the recurring power outages known as "dumsor."
