The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has reiterated that there are currently no power outages, commonly known as “dumsor,” taking place in the country.
According to the ECG, there is no ongoing load-shedding, despite certain reports suggesting otherwise.
Demands for a load-shedding timetable have not yielded any results as both the ECG and the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, insist that the power distributor is not shedding load.
In an earlier communiqué, ECG stated that some 630 of its overloaded transformers were to blame for the power cuts, but its Managing Director, Samuel Dubik Mahama, told journalists after a meeting with the Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament that the challenges with the transformers have been addressed.
“The assurance is that we are doing our best. The lights are going to stay on. Most of the transformers that we spoke about and the intensification exercises are almost done.
“So we should just stay positive. There will be a proper statement as to the way forward. We are currently not shedding load. So we are not shedding load.”
