Electricity Consumers To Experience 12 Hour Power Interruption Four Times A Week

The Electricity Company of Ghana, ECG, says it has complied with the PURC directive to draw a time table for its load shedding programme. 

Confirming this to Radio Ghana, the ECG's PRO for Accra West, Eric Asante, said customers will experience a 12 hour power interruption at least four times a week. 

He was quick to add that the situation may change depending on some factors. 

Mr Asante indicated that the ECG in collaboration with Energy Commission has drawn up outreach programmes to educate the public on electricity conservation. 

Mr Asante noted that the resumption of gas flow from the West African pipeline is not a panacea to load shedding. 

He said gas flow is a gradual process. 

He was hopeful that the problem will be rectified in the not too distant future when Ghana's gas starts flowing and the Asogli and Aboadze thermal plants are working at full capacity.
