Release load-shedding timetable – Minority to GRIDCo, ECG

In light of the ongoing power disruptions, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Deputy Minority Leader, has urged the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to promptly release a load-shedding schedule.

The Ellembelle MP has lamented that businesses and homes are finding it difficult to make appropriate plans because there is no load-shedding schedule.

Power outages have been plaguing several parts of the nation for the past few days, which has angered and frustrated numerous Ghanaians.

A number of Ghanaians have voiced their dissatisfaction, pointing to the absence of prior notice and an explanation for the widespread outage.

However, the former Minister of Power has emphasized that the affected population’s displeasure and discomfort are exacerbated by the lack of transparency and information regarding the timetable of power outages.

He said that the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) is currently having trouble paying its debt to the West African Gas Pipeline in a news release posted on Twitter.

Gas is transported by this pipeline from Takoradi to Tema in order to generate electricity.

Mr. Buah pointed out that a major cause of the massive power outages occurring across the nation is the GNPC’s incapacity to pay its financial obligations to the West African Gas Pipeline.

“It is worth highlighting that even during the worst periods of dumsor in the past, the power outage never reached the 500 megawatts threshold currently being shed yet the media associated with the NPP interestingly see this as no ‘dumsor.’”

“Their loud silence on the current situation is deafening,” the release read in parts.
