The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), Mr. Jonathan Amoako-Baah argue Ghanaians to expect a few ‘dumsor’ in the coming months
According to him, there’s enough capacity to meet more than the country’s demand but due to some ongoing projects across the country.
Ghana’s system peak demand is close to 3,200MW with an installed capacity of 5,300MW – this means there’s enough capacity to more than meet demand. Some intermittent outages are to be expected on the grid in the coming months due to ongoing projects
there are a general willingness and commitment by all stakeholders in the sector to work fervently to reduce the impact it will have on customers in the country
the statement said
He added that GRIDCo and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), in partnership with other stakeholders are assuring Ghanaians that this ongoing project will help maintain stability, accessibility, consistency, and reliability of power supply at all times
Indeed, the nature of the power system value chain, makes that impossible. As a crucial part of the entire value chain, overseeing matters on the transmission aspect of the process, GRIDCo wants to assure the country and all related stakeholders that none of the key participants in the value chain is resting on their oars, in an effort to maintain stability, accessibility, consistency, and reliability of power supply at all times
