Minister addresses recurring dumsor
YEN.com.gh reported that Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor earlier identified a makeshift technical arrangement at the Akosombo power plant as the root cause of the intermittent blackouts hitting homes and businesses across Ghana.
He explained that the temporary control system was installed at Akosombo after a fire and explosion at the GRIDCo substation there in April made a bypass arrangement the only way to avoid a complete six-month shutdown of the facility.
The Ministry of Energy had announced an 18-month intervention scheme to address the power cuts, costing at least GH¢4 billion.
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.
