Major parts of the nation’s capital are expected to experience power outages for almost two months.

The exercise, according to the Ghana Grid Company Limited, will commence from Tuesday, October 5 to December 5, 2021.

GRIDCo explains that the power outage has become necessary to assist it to execute some ‘planned works’ within the Achimota-Accra Central lines.

“The exercise has become crucial to transfer as much load as possible to Pokuase, Achimota, Accra East and Tema in order to limit loading at Mallam and Accra Central substations,” GRIDCo said in a letter requesting the Electricity Company of Ghana’s execution of the exercise.

The said works, according to GRIDCo, will entail the decommissioning and replacement of the existing power transmission lines with high-capacity conductors.
