Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, has completed repair and restoration works on the two collapsed towers of 330kV Aboadze-Anwomaso Transmission Line ahead of schedule.
This is expected to improve the power supply in the Ashanti and Northern Regions in the coming days.
Residents of the Ashanti Region and some parts of the Northern Region have been sleeping in darkness following the collapse of the telecommunication mast on GRIDCo’s transmission line in the western part of Ghana about a month ago.
Briefing journalists at GRIDCo’s Anwomaso Substation near Kumasi on Friday, Mr Boakye gave an assurance that there was a complete restoration of power supply.
“Kumasi now will not need to take off any load, barring any unforeseen circumstances,” he said.
Mr Boachie reiterated that GRIDCo was collaborating with other power supply agencies to establish another power generation enclave in Kumasi to improve power supply to the middle and northern parts of Ghana.
This would encompass the relocation of the Ameri Power Plant from Aboadze to Kumasi, expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
