The Volta River Authority (VRA) says the emergency load management
programme implemented across the country as a result of energy
shortfalls will be in force a little longer.
It says Ghanaians should brace up for “some kind of emergency outages”.
These were made known by Samuel Kwesi Fletcher, the Head of Corporate
Communications at VRA, in an interview with TV3’s Sandra Amarquaye on
Friday, March 7.
Gas pressures are low, and the volumes are also extremely low, Mr Fletcher adduced.
He said measures have been put in place “to make sure that the volumes
are increased to levels that will help run the machines”.
Last month, the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) warned of more
interruptions as a result of an emergency shutdown at the Aboadze
Thermal Plant in the Western Region.
The load management company, therefore, asked Ghanaians to conserve
electricity “by switching off appliances and equipment which are not in
use.”
Mr Fletcher noted that the situation has not changed and so Ghanaians should continue to conserve electricity.
