The Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) is asking the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) to as a matter of urgency come out with a load-shedding timetable for the impending maintenance works it intends carrying out.
GRIDCo on Tuesday announced that it intends replacing all old machines across the country as a means to improve efficiency.The maintenance works according to GRIDCo is expected to worsen the power situation.
“Anytime they do maintenance, there is some form of interruption. If you have a maintenance that is lapsing going into 2016, you could do it bit by bit that will not affect me. You don’t have to create panic in my mind. The law says that they should bring out a schedule. The statement is even faulty, it is vague, the commission is looking at the schedule critically, and at the appropriate time, they will let the public know their response,” she stated.
