The nationwide power outage experienced on Sunday, March 7, according to the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), was due to a technical fault on one of the major transmission lines between Prestea and Obuasi, resulting in a total power system shutdown.

“This situation led to overloads on other adjacent transmission lines, leading to a sequence of trips and an eventual power system shutdown in the country,” GRIDCo said in a statement.

“Restoration works by the Technical team began immediately and power supply was restored to all Bulk Supply Points (BSP) at 6:30pm that same day,” added GRIDCo.

Amid fears that Ghana may return to the days of load shedding, also known as dumsor, GRIDCo assured that it has “adequate generating capacity to meet demand in the country.”

“All relevant stakeholders in the power sector value chain will also continue to work to ensure consistency of supply to Ghanaians,” it added.

Find below details of GRIDCo’s press release:
