The   strategy   also   incorporates   monitoring   and   evaluation   as   a   key   focal   area   for   improving   environmental  sanitation  services.         6.25  Access  to  Energy  Supply   Government   adopted   both   short   term   measures   and   medium   to   long-­‐term   strategies   to   address  the  energy  short  falls  in  the  light  of  the  energy  crisis  that  rocked  the  country  in  2006   and  2007.  The  short  term  measures  included  emergency  power  plants  installed  by  government,   VRA  and  the  private  sector  to  curb  the  situation.  These  include;     • 126  MW  power  plant  by  Government     • 126MW  gas  turbine  power  plant  by  VRA   • 80  MW  thermal  plant  at  Tema  by  a  consortium  of  mining  companies     • 50MW   power   plant   at   Tema   by   Wood-­‐Group   and   Transdanubia   Limited   of   United   Kingdom     • Government  approved  the  importation  and  free  distribution  of  6  million  energy  saving   compact   fluorescent   lamps   (CFLs)   to   replace   incandescent   filament   lamps   (IFLs)   to   reduce  cost  to  consumers  and  save  about  200MW  of  electricity  during  peak  periods.     For  the  long-­‐to-­‐medium  term,  government  acquired  220MW  gas  turbine  power  plant  from   Asltom  of  Switzerland,  concluded  arrangements  for  the  acquisition  of  84  MW  Gas  Turbine   Power  Plant  from  BHEL  in  India  and  another  50MW  Gas  Turbines  Power  Plant  from  Siemens   in  the  U.K  to  secure  power  supply  in  the  medium-­‐term.  Over  2,000  MW  of  power  is  to  be   provided   by   Independent   Power   Producers   (IPPs)   of   which   Power   Purchase   Agreements   (PPAs)  have  been  concluded  with  4  of  them  (2007  Annual  Report,  GPRS  II).     150
