Dumsor officially back; ECG to release timetable

This is in reaction to public complains about intensified unstable supply of power in some parts of the country, and a lack of information as to when to expect outages.

 

John Jinapor said, a load shedding timetable will be released on Friday if the current shortfall in supply of fuel from Nigeria is not addressed by end of week.

The country is having to shed a total of 300 Mega Watts of power owing to the destruction of gas pipelines from Nigeria.

“There is currently a generation shortfall because we are not getting a supply of electricity from Nigeria. Sahara Oil, our supplier from Nigeria have said they will restore supply by the 8 of July. And if that does not happen, then we will release a load shedding timetable.”

The Volta River Authority uses only two kinds of fuel-Bonny light crude or Brass, and government has already paid for Sahara  oil to deliver the fuel on the 23 of June.

Deputy Minister of Power John Jinapor, however, reveals that the company was unable to meet the deadline due to current challenges.
