Most areas in Accra saw their lights go off in the early hours on Monday, January 29, 2018, without any prior notice.
Residents who were affected could not hide their frustration, with some blaming the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) for the power outage.
However, ECG denied responsibility with Public Relations Officer, William Boateng insisting “the problem is not from ECG, it’s from our transmission company in Ghana here, GRIDCo. GRIDCo is having some challenges”.
GRIDCo later clarified, explaining that the blackout was caused by an interference in their transmission network.
