Power has been restored following resumption of gas supply – GRIDCo

The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have jointly announced that power supply has been restored to all affected customers.

This followed the resumption of gas supply from Takoradi for use by generating plants in Tema.

According to a statement jointly issued by GRIDCo and ECG on Saturday, October 28, the improved gas supply has enabled power restoration to all loads across the country.

“Customers currently experiencing any outage should report to the ECG Call Centre on 0302- 611 611 or the Customer Service Office for the fault to be rectified, since this is likely to be a local fault.

“GRIDCo and ECG regret the inconvenience caused by the recent load management exercise and thank the public for their patience,” the statement said.

GRDICO earlier attributed the recent power cuts in parts of the country to limited gas supply.

“The Ghana Grid Company Ltd, (GRIDCo), the “Operator” of the National Interconnected Transmission System (NITS) informs the general public that due to limited gas supply to Tema, there will be a supply gap of 550MW at peak time.

“This will affect the power supply to consumers in some parts of the country,” an earlier statement issued by GRIDCo on Thursday, October 26 said.
