Madness. So when NDC was in power it as fuses blowing up at peak hours. So does it means every peak hours between 4 -8pm you staff replaces fuses.

This NPP government feels as though they can disrespect Ghanaians anyhow they wish and the people will even thank them for doing so. How can you give this mundane and lurid excuse? They think we are a bunch of zombies.

If there are blown fuses the outages will not only occur during peak time. This is load shedding because during peak time you can't supply to everyone. Simple as that

If l want to comment I may be arrested and probably my family may not see me again. In my area the dumsor is rampant both day and night but Ghanaians are not that stupid to believe any jargon so No Comments.

NPP under Akufo-Addo-Bawuliar is the most dishonest gang of liars ever. Why must there be overload of pressure on 630 transformers across the entire country when there is excess capacity? And you have consistently maintained that we don't have challenges with generation because NDC under Mahama procured enough, such that we could even export to our neighbors. How come our demand has increased so much so that even local supply cannot be met currently? You can't play politics with the power sector. Just publish a load shedding timetable for us, so we can plan our lives and businesses. This one too you can't do? Then what is your use?

These guys should accord us some respect and stop taking us for fools. Which localities are they referring to for us to report faults to bla bla bla. How do you put off lights from 4 am to 1145 am only to turn it off again from 6:25 pm to the following day and tell me that it is as a result of faulty fuses in a transformer. Nonsense.

NDC shot themselves in their own foot in terms of not making political gains from kufuors era when vision less kufuors instead of finding solutions to the power crisis rather engaged pastors to go and pray for rain to fill the Akosombo dam but they sat aloof for these criminals who knows very well Mahama did not bring dumsor but they’ve made Ghanaians believe it’s Mahama who brought dumsor and the silly fool soldiers took it up as their chewing stick but God never sleeps now we are seeing the real super incompetent useless vision less government struggling to manage the excess capacity they claimed is of no use to Ghana KARMA WILL CATCH UP WITH THIS EVIL INCARNATE LIERS IN ALL CONERS OF GHAN AND AFRICA AS THE MOST EVIL AND CORRUPT LIERS

I don talk am. for de past 7 years we always dey hear one talk after another when tins no go right.How come say the gofment n popi dem appoint no go be honest and tell de truth? I talk de orda time say de secret be say DUMSOR DON COME BACK.But all the gofment and popi dem appoint no go tell us de truth. De orda i talk say VRA,GRID.co and E.C.G put dem mind 2 together so anytime wey light off one of dem go explain say na dis and dat make dem lights go off, the next time GRIDco will take responsibility the third nko E.C.G will yarn say na from dem end. So de question be say when at all will dis tory telling come to end? Only God knows, de same pipo accuse former President Mahama say the energy capacity wey he put for de contri too much so dem cancel some agreement and here we dey DUMSOR IS BACK LIKE KAKAI.SHAME UNTO V.R.A, GRIDco and E.C.G for providing dumsor without timetable.

Infantile excuses. What are Ghanaians taken for? Children? A big disgrace to NPP for such childish
excuses for the mismanagement of the energy sector.
NPP tried to take the credit when the previous government fixed this dumsor challenge. The depth of their incompetence have been exposed now after failing to even maintain the lights on. Is it also COVID 19 and Russian/ Ukraine war matter? Such paa paa bunch have led Ghanaians into a ditch. NEVER AGAIAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Lies as always. Since when did it come to your attention that some transformers are full and breaking up conductors and also blowing up fuses during peak periods. Incompetent and irresponsible managers of state assets. You have already identified the problem and did nothing about it. Why don't you increase the capacity of the transformers or add to them.

Obviously an attempt to cover up the true cause order from the ministry.

Faulty transformers do not get repaired in the middle of the night. The intentional load shedding instead can be clearly identified by the timing. When the light comes back at 11pm that's not from repairing a transformer.

Besides, why is it so difficult to plan ahead regarding transformer capacity instead of just waiting for the system to break down before taking any action?
