Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, has attributed Friday afternoon’s power outage to a fault that occurred on one of its transmission lines from Tema to Accra.
In a statement signed by Ebenezer Amankwah, Corporate Communications Manager at GRIDCo, it said the fault resulted in a number generation facilities tripping, leading to outages in Accra and other parts of the country.
“Our Maintenance team responded immediately to restore the affected transmission circuits and power supply has since been fully restored to all parts of the country at approximately 14:30 pm,” the statement indicated.
The power transmitter apologised for the inconvenience the situation caused to power users and assured that it is committed to carrying out its mandate of delivering reliable power supply.
GRIDCo operates the Ghana Wholesale Electricity Market and provides electricity transmission services in Ghana and West Africa.
