Parts of Accra to experience power outages for two months
Some parts of the national capital are set to experience severe power outages popularly known as ‘Dumsor’ between October 5 and December 5, 2021, according to a document sighted by myactiveonline.com
The Ghana Grid Company explains that these outages are to pave way for planned maintenance works within the Achimota -Accra Central lines for the decommissioning and replacement of existing lines with new higher-capacity conductors.
GRIDCo further stated that this decision has become crucial “to transfer as much load as possible to Pokuase, Achimota, Accra East and Tema in order to limit loading at Mallam and Accra Central substations.”
The affected areas have been segmented into groups A, B and C.
Group A comprises Adabraka Old Timers, Mamprobi, Chorkor, Ageege, Lartebiokorshie, Valco Trust, and Teachers Hall, among others.
For Group B, the areas that are to be affected include Appolo Theatre, Asylum Down, Adabraka Market, Korle Gonno, Sukura, Mamprobi Poly Clinic, James Town, Mataheko, etc.
Group C also includes Central Police Station, Cocobod, Kingsway, Abossey Okai, Chorkor, Appiah Danquah, Graphic Press House, and SSNIT among others.
