The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), operator of the National Interconnected Transmission System, has announced the full restoration of power supply following a system disturbance that occurred on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
Some parts of Accra, Kumasi, Sunyani, Techiman, Bui, Tumu, Sawla, and other areas in Northern Ghana experienced a power outage on Thursday night.
According to GRIDCo, the outage was caused by a fault at 20:09 hours on the Tafo-Nkawkaw transmission line, resulting in a trip. While efforts were underway to restore the line, adjacent lines tripped, causing a loss of some power plants.
“This loss of generation resulted in the loss of power supply to some parts of Accra and Kumasi, as well as the Northern parts of Ghana beyond Kumasi,” GRIDCo explained in a statement.
GRIDCo’s System Control Centre (SCC) immediately took steps to stabilize the power system and commenced restoration of supply to affected areas. Power supply was fully restored at approximately 22:57 hours.
GRIDCo apologizes to the general public for the inconvenience caused by this incident.
