Faulty equipment at Mallam substation cause of Sunday's power outage – GRIDCo

The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has attributed Sunday’s power outage, which occurred in some areas within the western part of Accra, to a faulty equipment at its Mallam substation.

On March 3, 2024, some areas within Accra-West, Winneba, and Takoradi experienced prolonged power outages.

In a statement issued by GRIDCo on March 4, it said its engineers have already begun power restoration and assured the public that it was working to restore power supply to the affected areas.

“Restoration of supply to affected customers started immediately. As at 22:30h, power supply to most of the affected customers had been restored. For areas without power supply, engineers are working tirelessly to restore power once the faulted equipment is fixed,” GRIDCo noted.

The company further apologised to persons and areas affected by the power outages.
