Some regions of the country may experience power disruptions, and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has provided an explanation.
Peak load, which usually occurs between 7 and 11 p.m., is when these disruptions are expected to occur.
As a result of blown fuses and broken conductors inside the transformers, the business has linked these disruptions to an increase in demand for about 630 transformers countrywide.
Laila Abubakar, the External Communications Manager of ECG, stated that this is not the case, despite worries expressed by certain Ghanaians regarding these blackouts as a revival of the power crisis, which is locally referred to as “dumsor.”
She asked people not to assume that there is a total power outage while appearing on Adom FM’s morning program, Dwaso Nsem, on Tuesday.
“The problem is an overload on the transformers, not a generational issue or a need for routine maintenance. She stated, “Ghanians shouldn’t misunderstand what is happening because we are not shedding loads.”
She reaffirmed the company’s dedication to openness, saying that they had a duty to inform their clients of the severity of the issue.
She did, however, clarify that they are unable to give a timeline because the mechanical issue that caused the power loss has been fixed.
In order to maintain a more consistent electricity supply, Madam Abubakar apologised to the customers who were impacted by their maintenance and gave them the reassurance that they were actively addressing the problem.
