The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) has attributed last Saturday’s outage in parts of Ghana to system disturbance as a result of faulty equipment on the Takoradi Extension-Winneba line.
According to a statement issued by GRIDCo on Monday, the development forced all generating plants in Aboadze, Tema (except Kpone Thermal Power Plant), Bui and Kpong to shut down.
“This caused forced outages within the coastal corridor of the national grid which led to power supply interruptions in some parts of Greater Accra, Western/Central, Middle and Northern parts of the country.
“Restoration began immediately and supply was restored to all bulk supply points by 23:29 hrs.”
It said Akosombo and Kpone Thermal Power Plants continued to be in service.
GRIDCo assured Ghanaians that it would continue to work towards the provision of a reliable power system for Ghana’s socio-economic development.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the statement ended.
