The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) says only Accra and Winneba will experience power outages in the coming days following construction works at the main Pokuase sub station.
This, according to the Director of System Operations of GRIDCo, Mr Mark Baah is to allow the company facilitate some key projects to ensure power supply reliability in the Greater Accra Region.
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.
But Mr Baah assured that there is no nationwide “Dumsor” coming.

The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has explained why the Ameri Power Plant is being relocated from Aboadze to Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
According to GRIDCo, the move is to help use the 250 megawatts plant to stabilise the power situation in the central part of Ghana.
Bui Power Authority (BPA) or the Bui Hydroelectric Power Plant happens to be the only power generation plant which is located in the central part of Ghana.
All the other generating power plants are located in the southern and coastal parts of Ghana.
Bui supplies the central part and the rest of the load is met by generation from down south.

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.
