The Ghana Grid Company(GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have stated that they are working around the clock to complete their maintenance works.
According to them, they are taking advantage of the scheduled load-shedding to ensure that ongoing maintenance works within their domains are completed on time to bring relief to Ghanaians.
The two companies said the various ongoing works will enhance power supply reliability in the Greater Accra Region, Central and Ashanti Regions when completed.
“...GRIDCo and ECG wish to assure Ghanaians of their urgent commitment to complete the projects on time to bring relief to the system and customers..,” a statement from the service providers said.
The Kasoa BSP project is also expected to be completed in August 2021.
ECG and GRIDCo explained that the situation on the Tema-Achimota-Mallam transmission line has resulted in low voltages especially in Kumasi and the central/northern parts of the country.
Meanwhile, ECG in collaboration with other stakeholders decided on a 7-day power cut in various parts of the Greater Accra Region.
The 12-hour long of 7 days dumsor started on Monday, May 10, 2021, and is expected to end on Monday, May 17, 2021.
The schedule is to enable the newly constructed Pokuase Bulk Supply(BSP) plant to supply power to GRIDCo's 330kV transmission line.
In other news, the Head of Corporate Communications at Ghana Gas, Ernest Owusu Bempah, has refuted claims that there is dumsor.
Owusu Bempah said it is no fault of the compressors at the company’s installations at the Takoradi Regulatory and Metering Station (TRMS).
Owusu Bempah said the power outages being experienced in some parts of the country have nothing to do with Ghana Gas as is being speculated.
