This is not the first time that Ghana has witnessed a nationwide blackout in 2017.

On May 3, Ghana witnessed a nationwide blackout as a result of a surge of power leading to the loss of a number of GRIDCo generators across the country and the subsequent loss of power.

Power was fully restored after 12 hours.
