Power outages being experienced in Greater Accra and other parts of the Republic of Ghana are expected to reduce drastically in the coming days given the commencement of reverse flow of gas from the western part of the West African nation to the eastern power enclave in Tema.

The West African Gas Pipeline Company, a gas transportation company that transports gas on behalf of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) to fuel power plants in Tema, suspended gas transportation services over the failure by GNPC and ECG to pay the outstanding debt of about $19 million.

This resulted in power outages across the West African nation, forcing some citizens to take to social media and accusing the government of failing to manage the power sector.

Last night, WAPCo commenced the reverse flow of gas from the west to the Tema power enclave, after an agreement was reached between the government and WAPCo.

This portal has a hint that the Ministry of Finance would, on Monday, 30th October 2023, settle part of the outstanding debt to guarantee continuous transportation of gas from the West to the East.

Ghana takes gas delivery from Nigeria to complement domestic gas from Ghana Gas and Sankofa Gye Nyame (SGN) field operated by Eni, to fuel power plants in the West and East.

Checks by energynewsafrica.com within the energy sector revealed that gas delivery from Nigeria has been very low in recent times because of low pressure.

Meanwhile, a statement jointly issued by GRIDCo and ECG on Saturday noted the improved gas supply has enabled power restoration to all loads across the country.

Customers currently experiencing any outage should report to the ECG Call Centre on 0302-611 611 or the Customer Service Office for the fault to be rectified, since this is likely to be a local fault.

GRIDCo and ECG regret the inconvenience caused by the recent load management exercise and thank the public for their patience.
