The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has announced that it might have to resort to load management very soon.

According to the Company, “At 3:40 pm on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, a communication mast collapsed and fell on the 330kV Aboadze-Kumasi Transmission Line, resulting in the collapse of two adjacent towers.”

The incident which happened near Bogoso in the Western Region, has affected the national power system, thus necessitating the Company’s suggestion of possible load management.

Meanwhile, GRIDCo has assured Ghanaians that it is working assiduously to replace the fallen towers within the shortest possible time.

They expressed their commitment to “maintaining a stable network for reliable and efficient power delivery”.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the Company added.
