The power cuts today follow a major fault on Ghana's national power grid on July 29, which triggered widespread outages, leaving large parts of the country without electricity.

Several power plants were forced to shut down, but no exact cause has been communicated.

GRIDCo said it was conducting a comprehensive technical investigation to determine the outage's cause.

It did not say how long it would take for normal supplies to resume.

As part of this effort, 11 power station transformers will be installed across the Greater Accra Region, while an additional 30 are expected to be deployed during the same period.

The second phase of the intervention programme, expected to run from three to six months, was said to involve the replacement of about 2,000 deteriorated poles across Ghana.
