Ghana’s state-owned electricity companies have announced a temporary interruption in power supply across the country, attributed to a reduction in gas supply from Nigeria.

The Ghana Grid Company LTD (GRIDCO) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) disclosed this in a joint statement issued on June 13, 2024.

According to the statement, the gas supply shortage began on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, and is expected to last for three weeks.

“The Ghana Grid Company LTD. (GRIDCO) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) wish to inform the public that due to a reduction in gas supply from Nigeria since yesterday, Wednesday 12th June, 2024, some areas across the country have experienced interruption in power supply,” the statement read.

“The West Africa Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCO), in a statement, has explained that the reduction in gas supply was due to maintenance works being undertaken by a gas supplier in Nigeria and is projected to last three (3) weeks.

“The maintenance has caused a reduction in overall power generation capacity in Ghana which could result in load management over the period of the work.”

In an effort to mitigate the impact on consumers, GRIDCO and ECG are working closely with other stakeholders in the power value chain to optimize available resources.

The companies extended their apologies to Ghanaian residents for the inconvenience caused by the power supply interruptions.
