Power situation improving as no part of Ghana experienced load-shedding Sunday
Power consumers across the country over the last 7 weeks have been experiencing intermittent power cuts. The load management is said to end
Asaase News sources close to the Electricity Corporation of Ghana (ECG) have confirmed that the 7 weeks of load-shedding, which has bedeviled the entire country, is gradually ending as Sunday, 28 April 2024, goes down as the best weekend since the load-shedding began following substantial improvements in power generation.
In effect, no part of the nation experienced load management on Sunday, and the same is expected to continue throughout the country going forward.
Chairman of the governing board of the Electricity Corporation of GHANA (ECG), Herbert Krapa, five days ago, on Wednesday, 24 April 2024, assured the people of Ghana that the unfortunate power crisis they were enduring will be over in the next few days because the government has put in place adequate measures to ensure that, consumers enjoy uninterrupted power supply.
In a post on his Facebook Wall, My Krapa wrote, “As I said earlier today at Kaleo, at the Commissioning of VRA’s 15MW Solar Plant, the Government has put in place immediate measures to ensure the return of uninterrupted supply of power to consumers. I can, therefore, state that the unfortunate power challenges Ghanaians are facing should be over in the next few days.”
“We are fully confident that the measures being put in place should resolve the service interruptions. We empathise with all consumers and apologise unreservedly for the effects of the outages on our daily lives. Please bear with us. We are fixing it, and we are nearly there,” Herbert Krapa’s post further read.
Power consumers across the country over the last 7 weeks have been experiencing intermittent power cuts. There were calls by a section of the Ghanaian public for the Ministry of Energy to publish an official timetable to keep consumers informed on when they will have light and when they will not have the same.
The improvement in the power situation in the country will come as a big relief to the households, the power-consuming public, and businesses that rely heavily on constant electricity for their daily business activities.
