Part of the Republic of Ghana is currently experiencing power outage due to shortfall in gas supply, the system operator, Ghana Grid Company, GRIDCo, has said..
Ghana’s industrial city, Tema, and its environs and other parts of West African nation had been experiencing power outage for the past few days and it is unclear what the cause is.
However, a statement from GRIDCo Corporate Communications Unit on Friday evening attributed the outages to shortage of gas supply from the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant (GPP) and the West African Gas Pipeline (WAPCo).
This, GRIDCo, said has created a supply gap of 650MW at peak time which will affect consumers in some parts of the country.
GRIDCo said efforts are being made to restore gas supply from Atuabo. As the situation improves power would be restored to affected customers.
The company expressed its regret for the inconvenience to Ghanaians.
Meanwhile, Electricity Company of Ghana, ECG, has also appologised to customers over the situation.
