Dumsor

The Ghana Grid Company Ltd (GRIDCo) and The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have said that due to maintenance works being carried out by the Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC) at the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant (GPP), gas supply for power generation has been affected.

A joint statement from GRIDCo and ECG said “there will be approximately 150 megawatts of power generation shortfall. This will reduce total power supply for distribution by ECG until Friday 7th April, 2023.

In this regard, there will be minimal interruption in power supply to some ECG customers. ECG will therefore issue an outage timetable by Friday, 31st March, to inform customers accordingly.”

“GRIDCo and ECG regret the inconvenience caused,” the statement added.
