Ghanaians especially on social media have been restless these few days due to the frequent cut in power supply.
To many, the government is not been truthful about what is happening and that makes them sick because accepting that there is a problem at hand and designing a timetable for power rationing will help them plan their lives.
Meanwhile, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced the interruption of power in some parts of Accra from Thursday, May 27, to Friday, June 11, 2021.
The 16-day load-shedding exercise is to facilitate the work of contractors in an effort to improve power supply reliability.
A statement issued by ECG Thursday, May 20, 2021, noted that as part of system improvement works on the Kasoa Bulk Supply Point (BSP), a reconstruction of a section of Ghana Grid Company’s 161kV Winneba to Mallam transmission lines and tie-in will be required.
