The Volta River Authority (VRA) says there is likely to be further power outages because of difficulties in running the Aboadze Thermal Plant.
The plant which now depends heavily on gas currently receives about a third of supply from Nigeria through the West African Gas Pipe Line.
Officials say instead of 90million cubic feet of gas, supply is now about 30million cubic feet.
This comes at a time Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) is conducting load shedding because of routine maintenance of generating plants at Akosombo.
Director of hydro generation at VRA Kirk Coffie tells Joy News engineers are working around the clock to restore power.
