Shortage in gas supply caused Monday’s power outage – GRIDCo

The company, in a statement, said a reported leakage in its processing plant at Takoradi has curtailed gas supply to a number of thermal generating plants in the country.

This resulted in the shutdown of a number of gas-fired generating plants on Monday, June 7, 2021.
