The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has debunked media reportage that the reconstruction of transmission lines from the Achimota substation through Avenor to the Mallam substation will lead to load shedding, popularly known as “dumsor“.
According to the power transmission company, adequate measures have already been put in place to ensure there is no load shedding to those in the catchment area of the reconstruction.
Adding that phase one of the project was carried out in November 2021 without any disruption to power supply.
