According to a Corporate Communications Manager for GRIDCo, Ebenezer Amankwah,  the outages are based on requests from many contractors expected to carry out the maintenance works on power stations, bulk supply points among others.

“There are are a plethora of projects ongoing currently to resolve inherent challenges in the distribution and transmission aspects of the power production value chain”, said Ebenezer in an interview with the CNR.
