The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) says it is in the process of fixing the challenge adding that some areas have their electricity restored.

Meanwhile, infuriated Ghanaians continue to flood social media timelines with their dissatisfaction about the development with some questioning already whether its represents a return to the days of erratic power supply, popularly known as 'Dumsor.'
