The Ghana Grid Company Limited has blamed Monday’s power outages in some parts of Accra and Tema on the gas shortage at the Takoradi enclave.

In a press statement released dated 8th June, 2021, GRIDCo said a reported leakage in its processing plant at Takoradi has curtailed gas supply to a number of thermal generating plants in the country.

This resulted in the shutdown of a number of gas-fired generating plants on Monday, 7 June 2021

“Consequently, this led to power outages in some parts of Greater Accra and Tema. Repair works are currently ongoing by Ghana Gas to fix the situation,”

The power distributor added that repair works are still underway to fix the problem to ensure regular supply of power to consumers.
