ECG load shedding timetable out

The Electricity Company of Ghana has released a time table for its intensified load shedding exercise which begins today.

This follows pressure from the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission on the ECG to publish the timetable or risk being sanctioned.

ECG had earlier indicated it can't publish a timetable because of the erratic nature of power supply from the Volta River Authority.

The problem is the result of a shortfall of over 500 megawatts of power caused by repair works on some power plants and difficulty with supply of gas from Nigeria.
