Government's plan to address dumsor disruptions

YEN.com.gh reported that the Ministry of Energy announced an 18-month intervention scheme to address the power cuts, costing at least GH¢4 billion.

Under this, 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 for three to six months, was said to involve replacing about 2,000 deteriorated poles across Ghana.

The final phase, which accounts for about GH¢2 billion of the total budget, will address major backbone infrastructure, including 33-kilovolt feeders and regional system upgrades, to be completed within 18 months.
