The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has reportedly declared that no part of the country experienced load shedding on Sunday, April 29, 2024, signaling a significant improvement in power generation nationwide.
As per information obtained by asaaseradio.com from an internal source at ECG, the 7-week long load shedding program, reminiscent of the dumsor era, is nearing its conclusion.
The source revealed that the absence of load shedding on Sunday indicates an imminent end to the dumsor period, describing it as the best weekend of power supply since the commencement of load shedding.
Additionally, the source affirmed that there are no plans for load shedding in the foreseeable future.
These developments echo the assurances given by Herbert Krapa, Chairman of the Board of ECG, who stated in a Facebook post on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, that the government has implemented effective measures to resolve the current power crisis and ensure uninterrupted power supply for consumers.
“As I said earlier today at Kaleo, at the Commissioning of VRA’s 15MW Solar Plant, the Government has put in place immediate measures to ensure the return of uninterrupted supply of power to consumers. I can, therefore, state that the unfortunate power challenges Ghanaians are facing should be over in the next few days.
“We are fully confident that the measures being put in place should resolve the service interruptions. We empathise with all consumers and apologise unreservedly for the effects of the outages on our daily lives. Please bear with us. We are fixing it and we are nearly there,” Herbert Krapa’s post read
For the past few weeks, power consumers across the country have been dealing with power outages.
In light of these challenges, a portion of the Ghanaian public is asking the Ministry of Energy to publish an official timetable to keep consumers updated on power availability.
