Ghana: Accra To Experience Two Days’ Power Outages

Residents in parts of Accra, Ghana’s capital, would experience two days of power outage between Saturday June 1 and Sunday June 2, 2019.

The power outage, which would be from 0700am and 500pm, is to allow the Ghana Highway Authority to implement the expansion of the Tema Motorway intersection to improve on traffic flow in and out of Tema.

It is not clear which specific areas would be affected by the two days’ outage.

A statement issued by the power transmission company, Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), said the objective of the works is to increase the ground clearance of GRIDCo’s 161kV Volta-Achimota Transmission lines crossing the Akosombo-Tema road and facilitate the implementation of the road project.
