FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
POWER SUPPLY ISSUES: GAS CHALLENGE FROM NIGERIA
Accra, Thursday, 13th June, 2024
The Ghana Grid Company LTD. (GRIDCO) and the Electricity Company of Ghana, (ECG)
wish to inform the public that due to a reduction in gas supply from Nigeria since yesterday,
Wednesday 12th June, 2024 some areas across the country have experienced interruption in
power supply.
The West Africa Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCO), in a statement, has explained that the
reduction in gas supply was due to maintenance works being undertaken by a gas supplier in
Nigeria and is projected to last three (3) weeks.
The maintenance has caused a reduction in overall power generation capacity in Ghana
which could result in load management over the period of the work.
GRIDCO and ECG however, wish to assure the public that we are collaborating with other
stakeholders in the power value chain to optimise available resources to ensure minimal
impact of the reduction in gas supply on consumers.
GRIDCO and ECG sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
