Parts of the country will soon be hit with a load shedding from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) due to a technical problem on the West Africa Gas Pipeline. According to the Ghana Grid Company, the technical problem has affected gas supply to the Volta River Authority and the Surnon Asogli Plant. It added that due to the problem, power generation from the VRA has been reduced whilst the Sunon Asogli Power Plant has been shutdown. A press statement from the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCO) signed by the Head of Public Relations Albert Quainoo has requested the Electricity Company of Ghana and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company to implement a load shedding exercise in parts of the country as soon as possible. It added that the load shedding will afford Engineers of the West Africa Pipeline Company to resolve the problem for normal power to be restored.
