GRIDCo announces load shedding
Accra, Feb. 17, 2012
The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has announced that it is implementing a load curtailing program to some parts of the country.
The load shedding is as a result of inadequate supply of electrical power from the Volta River Authority (VRA).
A statement signed by the Head of Public Relations, Mr Albert Kwesi Quainoo, said GRIDCo had requested the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electrical Company (NEDCO) to manage the load within the available generating capacity.
According to the statement the West African Gas Pipeline Company had closed the gas supply valve in Nigeria to stop the flow of gas to Ghana, indicating that this had affected the output of the gas fired thermal generating plants in the power system.
It however noted that VRA, ECG and GRIDCo would collaborate to inform the residents of areas that would be affected when such interruptions in power supply would occur.
