The Volta River Authority (VRA) has assured of stable power during the Yuletide though users have been advised to ensure a high sense of energy conservation. �I cannot tell beyond that how things will go because the demand keeps growing,� Samuel Kwesi Fletcher, the Head of VRA�s Corporate Communications, cautioned in an exclusive interview with TV3�s Sandra Amarquye on Thursday, November 28, 2013. �So far, the picture looks good for the Christmas period. I think we are going to have stable power,� he assured. What Mr Fletcher was concerned about is the upsurge in power use during that period. �During the Christmas period, we know people use a lot of power. People will have to use power wisely.� He also assured that the power situation in the country currently is stable �but it is not a situation that is fully sustainable.� �In fact, it is not because given the demand, if the power sector is going to get stable, it calls for a lot of investment,� Mr Fletcher said. He said if government fails to provide assured subsidies, provision of stable power is going to be interrupted. �If we really are going to speed up our project, we need those monies.�
