The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has reportedly stated that no part of Ghana experienced load management on Sunday, April 29, 2024, as there has been a drastic improvement in power generation in the country.
According to information obtained by asaaseradio.com, an inside source at ECG has disclosed that the 7-week long load-shedding program, which has plunged the country into a situation reminiscent of the dumsor era, is slowly reaching its end.
The source is reported to have stated that the fact that there was no load management on Sunday means that dumsor would be a thing of the past soon, describing Sunday as the best weekend of power supply since the load-shedding started.
The source also indicated that there would be no power supply load management in the country moving forward.
This report follows the assurances given by Herbert Krapa, Chairman of the Board of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), that the current power crisis in Ghana will be resolved soon.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, Krapa stated that the government has implemented adequate measures to ensure that consumers enjoy uninterrupted power supply soon.
“As I said earlier today at Kaleo, at the Commissioning of VRA’s 15MW Solar Plant, the Government has put in place immediate measures to ensure the return of uninterrupted supply of power to consumers. I can, therefore, state that the unfortunate power challenges Ghanaians are facing should be over in the next few days.
“We are fully confident that the measures being put in place should resolve the service interruptions. We empathise with all consumers and apologise unreservedly for the effects of the outages on our daily lives. Please bear with us. We are fixing it and we are nearly there,” Herbert Krapa’s post read.
For the past few weeks, power consumers across the country have been dealing with power outages.
In light of these challenges, a portion of the Ghanaian public is asking the Ministry of Energy to publish an official timetable to keep consumers updated on power availability.
