The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have announced a potential three-week load management period due to ongoing maintenance work by a gas supplier in Nigeria.
In a joint statement issued on Thursday, June 13, the companies clarified that the maintenance has led to a reduction in overall power generation capacity in Ghana, which could necessitate load management during this period.
The statement further explained that the recent power interruptions experienced in parts of the country since June 12 are due to the decreased gas supply from Nigeria.
While apologising for the inconvenience, GRIDCo and ECG assured the public that they are working with other stakeholders in the power sector to optimise available resources and minimise the impact of the reduced gas supply on consumers.
