On Sunday, March 7, 2021, the country went into a nationwide blackout for several hours with many Ghanaians taking to social media to complain bitterly.
For many who complained, power has not been stable in their areas and they were wondering if 'dumsor', the erratic power situation which crippled the nation a few years ago, is back.
The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) released a statement explaining the circumstances leading to a power outage across the country.
GRIDCo explained that a challenge in the power system which happened at about 2:01 pm led to a total shutdown of the system.
It is this shutdown that "led to the interruption of power supply to all parts of the country."
The statement assured that the company's technical team was "working to restore power supply to all bulk supply points (BSPs) in the country."
