Ghanaians have been battling heavy frustration in recent weeks due to a return of heavy power cuts, locally known as dumsor.
The phenomenon, which was frequent during President John Mahama’s first term between 2013 and 2017, has sparked anger among Ghanaians online.
Reportedly, the power cuts are due to the replacement of multiple aged transformers currently in use and are meant to boost the power supply once completed.
Fire guts Akosombo power plant
Amid the troubling return of dumsor due to the transformer replacements, fire broke out at Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo)’s power station located at the Akosombo Dam.
The fire incident, which affected GRIDCo's Substation Switchyard in Akosombo, disrupted operations, leading to power cuts.
The fire reportedly broke out around 2:01 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, 2026, prompting an immediate response from emergency teams from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).
A viral video shared by Woezor TV showed the GNFS team desperately battling the blaze as thick smoke could be seen billowing from one of the buildings.
The incident led to multiple hours of dumsor and prompted a statement from GRIDCo.
“GRIDCo wishes to assure the public that our engineers are working assiduously to stabilise the system and minimise the impact of the disruption,” the statement said.
The company emphasised that restoring a reliable power supply remains its top priority and urged the public to remain calm, noting that the situation is under control.

Telvin Sowah’s sabotage prophecy surfaces
After the fire, debate sprang up on social media regarding the alleged origins of the blaze.
Some Ghanaians put it down to negligence and lack of maintenance, while others put it down to sabotage.
Amid the debate, Prophet Telvin Adjei Sowah shared a resurfaced video of an interview he granted on May 1, 2025.
In the interview, the man of God prophesied that Ghana’s power sector would face sabotage during President John Dramani Mahama’s reign.
The man of God warned that the power sector issues were just one of three instances of sabotage this government would face, warning of impending sabotage against GoldBod and more market fires.
