Detailed Summary from Modern Ghana
Karl-Heinz Heerde’s “African Madness: Power Outages,” dropped March 23, 2025, in Modern Ghana, hits hard on Ghana’s “Dumsor” plague—those maddening power cuts that just won’t quit. Heerde spotlights Ghana’s Nuclear Power Agency flirting with atomic fixes for a grid that’s been a mess since the 2014-2015 blackout bonanza under Mahama. Sun’s blasting down, yet Ghana’s dark, bleeding $2.1M daily from outages—old stats that still sting. Factories limp, lights flicker, and farmers rage. Then Heerde flips it: Germany’s drowning in solar—174,500 to 635,000 kWh from private panels slammed their grid yearly between 2018 and 2021. In 2024, they lost €24B throttling green excess—too much juice, not enough takers. Ghana scrambles for power; Germany chokes on it. Madness indeed.
PowerAfrika’s Opinion
At PowerAfrika, we’re boiling—Ghana’s “Dumsor” isn’t just chaos, it’s a betrayal of what Africa could be. Nuclear’s a shiny toy, but solar’s screaming from the rooftops.

Physically, solar grids beat coal’s wheeze; psychologically, it’s a flex—Africa rises, not begs. Germany’s surplus? A wake-up—Ghana needs solar chargers and microgrids yesterday. PowerAfrika says no excuses—kill “Dumsor,” seize the sun, and make powerafrika.com the war room for Africa’s electric revolt.
