The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has released an eight (8) day Dumsor timetable for residence in Greater Accra for May 2021.
This load shedding according to ECG is due to ongoing construction works in the power sector particularly at the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point.
The ECG has revealed that as part of projects to improve power supply reliability and system voltages, the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) in collaboration with the ECG are undertaking interruptions in the power supply to facilitate the work of contractors at various stages and times.
This is because, the new Pokuase Bulk Supply Point, which is near completion and sponsored by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) under the auspices of the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) will require a tie-in to GRIDCo’s 330kv transmission line.
The outages will rotate between day and night from 6 am to 6pm and 6 pm to 6am for eight days.
According to the ECG, the tie-in works will take eight days from Monday, May 10 to Monday, May 17, 2021, and will affect the power supply to some customers in the North-Eastern parts of Accra.
The ECG has explained that other needed interruptions in power supply to enable contractors to complete the different intervention projects, will be communicated in due course.
