VRA, GRIDCo explain power failure

Accra, Nov. 6, Ghanadot/GNA - The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) and Volta River Authority (VRA) have explained that the interruption of electricity supply to parts of the country on
Friday between 0700 and 0900 hours was as a result of the loss of two generating units in service at Takoradi Thermal Plant and the subsequent loss of two other units at Akosombo Generating Station.


A statement signed by Mr Charles A. Darku, Chief Executive of GRIDCo, on behalf of VRA and GRIDCo, said the loss of the generating units resulted in interruption of electricity supply to customers of Electricity Company of Ghana in some parts of the country and customers of the Northern Electricity Department of VRA.


"Power supply restoration efforts by the two Utilities commenced immediately with units in Akosombo being brought on line. Units at Takoradi Thermal plant were later restored to service. Supply was subsequently restored countrywide by 0900 hours."


GRIDCo and VRA extended their apologies to the general public for the inconvenience.
