Ghana state-owned electricity companies have announced an interruption in power supply over reduced gas supply in Nigeria.
In a joint statement on June 13, the Ghana Grid Company LTD
(GRIDCO) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) said the gas supply
shortage is expected to last for three weeks.
“The Ghana Grid Company LTD. (GRIDCO) and the Electricity
Company of Ghana, (ECG) wish to inform the public that due to a reduction in
gas supply from Nigeria since yesterday, Wednesday 12th June, 2024 some areas
across the country have experienced interruption in power supply,” GRIDCO and
ECG said.
“The West Africa Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCO), in a
statement, has explained that the reduction in gas supply was due to
maintenance works being undertaken by a gas supplier in Nigeria and is
projected to last three (3) weeks.
“The maintenance has
caused a reduction in overall power generation capacity in Ghana which could
result in load management over the period of the work.”
GRIDCO and ECG, however, assured the public that “we are
collaborating with other stakeholders in the power value chain to optimise
available resources to ensure minimal impact of the reduction in gas supply on
consumers”.
The companies apologised to Ghanaian residents for the
inconvenience caused.
