VRA announces load management
Management of the Volta River Authority (VRA) is informing the general public that owing to a drastic reduction in the supply of gas from Nigeria through the West Africa Gas Pipeline to power the Thermal Plants, there will be a reduction in power supply by 100 mega watts during the peak periods from 6.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m.
VRA has therefore requested the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to undertake a load management exercise in various parts of the country, until the situation returns to normalcy.
Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing with the suppliers of gas to increase supply from the current 40 million standard cubic feet per day (mscf/d), to the contractual volumes of 100 mscf/d, to enable the VRA operate all its thermal facilities.
The VRA is assuring its valued customers and the general public that it is committed to ensuring the supply of adequate power to all its customers, and regret any inconvenience caused.
