The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) says only Accra and Winneba will experience power outages in the coming days due to construction works being carried out on its main lines and at the main Pokuase sub station.
According to the Director of System Operations of GRIDCo, Mr Mark Baah, the maintenance work is to allow the company facilitate some key projects to ensure power supply reliability in the Greater Accra Region.
At a press briefing in Accra Thursday [April 1, 2021], Mr Baah said in order for the projects to be completed the contractors have requested for some outages because as they build they have to connect it to the current system.

There have been power outages in some parts of the country, which has led to people claiming Ghana has returned to “Dumsor” and thereby requiring a load shedding timetable for GRIDCo.
But Mr Baah assured that there is no nationwide “Dumsor” coming.
He mentioned some of these projects as the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) funded Pokuase substation and Kasoa Bulk Supply Point installations and the French Development Agency (AFD) funded Tema - Accra transmission line reinforcement project.
