The Volta River Authority says it still expects some more water inflows into the Akosombo Dam during October to further boost the level of water for more power generation. In the meantime however, the Authority will from October 1, 2007, put out a third turbine to help shore up supply shortfalls as the nation returns to 24-hour electricity supply after about a year of load shedding. The Dam runs six turbines at full capacity but has been operating only two in recent times owing to low water levels, which consequently plunged the nation into a year-long load management programme. Mr. Joshua Ofedie, Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority told Joy FM’s Super Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah that the third turbine will run between 6pm and 10pm daily to help meet peak-hour demands until the water level is good enough to permit non-stop operations. He explained that the improvement in energy supply situation in the country, resulting from the short-term measures put in place by the government as well as improved units efficiency from Akosombo, have been responsible for the new era of uninterrupted supply. The CEO however urged the public to support energy conservation plans to ensure that the situation does not get any worse. Current water level as at October, 1, 2007 is 252.80 feet. On Sunday, September 30, it was 252.50 feet. The Dam operates at a maximum level of 278 feet, and 240 feet at minimum Level. (Listen to the attached audio for the full conversation.
