The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) has announced the full restoration of power supply across the country following a system disturbance that occurred on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
The incident, which took place at approximately 8:09 PM, led to outages in several areas including parts of Accra, Kumasi, Sunyani, Techiman, Bui, Tumu, Sawla, and other regions in Northern Ghana.
According to a press release issued by GRIDCo, the initial cause of the disruption was a fault that led to the tripping of the Tafo-Nkawkaw transmission line.
While engineers were working to bring the line back online, adjacent lines also tripped, resulting in a loss of power generation and subsequent outages in the aforementioned areas.
GRIDCo’s System Control Centre (SCC) swiftly initiated measures to stabilize the power system and commence the restoration process.
By 10:57 PM on Thursday night, power supply had been fully restored to all affected areas.
The company has apologised to the general public for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected disruption.
GRIDCo has assured the public of its commitment to maintaining a stable and reliable power supply across the country.
