The Electricity Company Ghana (ECG) says it will issue a power outage timetable on Friday, March 31 following the shutdown of the Ghana Gas’ Atuabo processing plant shut down.
The gas plant shutdown which is expected to take effect from April 1 would last for 14 days.
As a result, some parts of the country will lose power, prompting the need for a load-shedding schedule to keep affected customers informed.
“Consequently, there will be approximately 150 megawatts of power generation shortfall. This will reduce the total power supply for distribution by ECG until Friday, April 7, 2023.

“In this regard, there will be a minimal interruption in power supply to some ECG customers.
"ECG will therefore issue an outage timetable by Friday, 31st March, to inform customers accordingly,” a joint press statement from GRIDCo and ECG noted.
In a related development, the Director of communications with Ghana Gas, Ernest Owusu Bempah confirms the development and says the maintenance is necessary for maximum performance of the plant.
“The engineers thought it wise that we need to do some major maintenance hence the shutdown,” he stated.
He added that the good maintenance culture of the gas processing plants has helped to reduce the ‘dumsor’ situation in the country.
He, however, assured that other gas outlets would be operational so that there would be no gas shortage.
