Despite the firm assurance that the seven days scheduled power cuts was all that was needed to resolve the 'dumsor', the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has once again released a new schedule.
The new schedule is for the planned power outages from May 27 to June 11, 2021 in Accra.
In a report filed by Graphic.com.gh, the planned outage is to enable the completion of construction works on the Kasoa Bulk Supply Point.
The outage will help the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) undertake work on the 161KV Plant.
