Ghana's capital, Accra at night

Power utility companies in the Republic of Ghana have assured consumers in the West African nation of reliable power supply during the Christmas and the New Year festivities.

The three utility companies gave the assurance in a statement signed by the CEO of GRIDCo, Ing. Jonathan Amoako-Baah, Managing Director of ECG, Kwame Agyeman-Budu and CEO of NEDco Osmani A. Ayuba.

“As companies responsible for the transmission and distribution of power in Ghana, we recognise our critical importance to the sustenance of the country’s socio-economic development. We have, therefore, put in place a comprehensive business continuity plan and programme to ensure our engineers are on call to attend to emergencies when they occur across the country,” the statement said.

“We take our mandate to our key stakeholders seriously and resolve to execute it to the best of our ability. We wish our customers and the general public a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year,” it added.
