GRIDCo To Demolish Structures Around Tema-Achimota-Mallam Transmission Lines

  The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), is to embark on a demolition exercise around its Right-of-Way (RoW) locations along the Tema-Achimota-Mallam High Voltage Transmission Lines. The exercise, scheduled for this month, will rid the affected areas of illegal occupants and encroachers, whose activities prevent access to the transmission towers. In a statement issued in Accra and copied to the Ghana News Agency, the Company said the specific areas included Dzorwulu, Ashiaman Middle East, and areas in East Legon - American House; Adzei Kodzo and Menpeasem. It said the demolition exercise, when completed, would enable GRIDCo engineers and contractors unimpeded access to the transmission towers for construction works to be carried out to ensure adequate and quality power transmission to the Greater Accra region and adjoining areas.

Govt pays over 50% of debts owed IPPs

The Independent Power Producers and Bulk Distributors in November 2020 threaten to withdraw its services, a situation that could have triggered power cuts, popularly called dumsor. This was after it had sent a letter to the Ghana Grid Company Limited with the Energy Minister and the Electricity Company of Ghana in copy. The letter to GRIDCo said the action has become necessary as it demands ECG and government to settle at least 80% of its indebtedness worth $1 billion, in a matter of urgency. The Chamber of Independent Power Producers describes the move as a good faith shown by government but wants more.
