The Ghana Grid Company Ltd (GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have blamed Monday night’s power outage experienced in parts of Accra, was due to disturbance in its power system.

A statement issued by GRIDCo on Tuesday indicates that power has been restored to affected areas across Ghana.

“At 19:50GMT on Monday 8 November 2021, the power system experienced a significant disturbance,”.

“All generating units at Aboadze Enclave and Bui tripped, resulting in a power outage in sections of Accra, the Western, Middle and Northern parts of the country.”

“This led to another interruption of electricity supply to several areas of Accra, the Western, Middle, and Northern parts of the country. GRIDCO, in collaboration with its key stakeholders in the power supply chain, has restored power to all BSPs,” the statement said.

Similarly, the ECG statement said a system disturbance was experienced upstream which resulted in outages within ECG’s operational areas.

“ECG wishes to assure the general public, especially affected customers that immediately our in-take points from GRIDCO are fully loaded, power will be restored,” the statement said.
