    The government has inaugurated an eight-member Private Sector Participation (PSP) Steering Committee to provide strategic oversight for the implementation of the reintroduced Multiple Lease Model (MLM), aimed at transforming electricity distribution in Ghana.

    The MLM approach, which segments electricity distribution services into regional units to be managed by various private operators, is designed to attract credible investors, enhance efficiency, reduce technical and commercial losses, and improve customer satisfaction nationwide.

    The PSP Steering Committee will be chaired by Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, Minister for Energy and Green Transition, with Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, Minister for Finance, serving as co-chair.

    Other members include Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister for Trade and Agribusiness; Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, Attorney General and Minister for Justice; and Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State for Government Communications.

    The remaining members are Julius Kpekpena, Acting Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG); John Okine Yamoah, Acting Managing Director of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo); and Madam Baba Akon, who will serve as Secretary to the Committee.

    In a statement read on his behalf by the Deputy Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Richard Gyan Mensah, at the inauguration in Accra, John Jinapor said the MLM is a cornerstone of the government’s broader energy sector recovery and modernisation strategy.

    He explained that the Steering Committee will provide strategic direction for the PSP rollout, gather baseline data, including auditing the PSP deal—coordinate with ECG, NEDCo, regulatory bodies, and transaction advisors, and monitor progress across critical milestones.

    “The Committee will also be responsible for reviewing and advising on transaction documents, procurement frameworks, draft agreements, risk mitigation strategies, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder communications,” John Jinapor stated.

    He added that the PSP Implementation Unit within the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition will serve as the Secretariat to the Committee, offering administrative and technical support throughout the implementation process.

    Jinapor tasked the Committee with ensuring that the procurement of technical, financial, and legal transaction advisors is completed by May 31, 2025, to facilitate the commencement of detailed implementation.

    “By September 2025, we anticipate issuing the first phase of the competitive bidding documents for private concessionaires,” he said.

    Three sub-committees; Technical, Governance & Regulatory, and Stakeholder Management, have also been established to support the process.

    Jabesh Amissah-Arthur, Chair of the Technical Sub-Committee, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and called on Ghanaians to support the Committee as it undertakes its critical mandate.

    “The road will be challenging and difficult, but I have confidence in the members. We will be able to live up to expectations by guiding the restructuring of the power distribution sector to ensure improved customer service,” he said.
