At 19:52 h on Saturday, May 07, 2022, the power system experienced a system disturbance due to faulty equipment on the Takoradi Extension-Winneba line.
Consequently, all generating plants in Aboadze, Tema (except Kpone Thermal Power Plant), Bui and Kpong were forced to shut down.
This caused forced outages within the coastal corridor of the National Grid which led to power supply interruptions in some parts of Greater Accra, Western/Central, Middle and Northern parts of the country.
However, Akosombo and Kpone Thermal Power Plants continued to be in service supplying power.
Restoration began immediately and supply was restored to all bulk supply points by 23:29 h.
GRIDCO assures its valued stakeholders that it will continue to work towards the provision of a reliable power system for Ghana’s socio-economic development.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
