Ghana In Darkness As Energy Crises Worsen by Awalla: 6:52pm On Oct 16, 2014
Domestic and commercial power consumers will now suffer 24 hours without power every other day.

Per a previous load shedding timetable, consumers were experiencing 12 hours without power during peak periods in the night and 14 hours during the daytime.

That schedule was drawn with a supply deficit of 400 megawatts.

However, a recent loss of an additional 140 megawatts has compelled the power Distributor to revise the schedule.

It is not clear how long the new load shedding management programme will last before consumers start enjoying frequent power supply

Can imagine what the poor country is going through, the power problem will just usain bolt their crumbling economy, I predict a very rich Nigerian will buy Ghana by 2020.

They must be looking for way to buy generator now, I think it's time I start exporting generator to Ghana, I don't see Nigeria supplying the poor country gas anymore, who knows maybe they are indebted and unable to pay for the gas supplied, hence reason Nigeria govt. decide to cut off the supply. They are closing embassy, now cholera is killing and economy is crumbling.

RIP Ghana

The country's main power distributor, the Electricity Company of Ghana, is set to implement a revised timetable for the ongoing power rationing which will intensify the load shedding.

Barring any last minute intervention from the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and stakeholders, the ECG says electricity consumers under the new arrangement will enjoy power for 24 hours and endure a power cut for the next 24 hours.

This has become necessary because the country is currently dealing with a power generation shortfall of about 540 megawatts as of Thursday October 15, 2014.Public Relations Manager of ECG, William Boateng disclosed this on Joy FM, today.

“It is a huge challenge because, even we don’t even know when you are going to go off and when you are having power,” he revealed. Several parts of the country are already experiencing unplanned power cuts making it difficult for consumers and industries to properly plan with the published schedule for the load management exercise.

Mr. Boateng says the current schedule was designed to shed 400 megawatts of power. He said the revision accommodates the additional 140 megawatts generation shortage that is being experienced now.

“We have a revised version [load management timetable] with us where customers will go off 24 hours and come on 24 hours,” Mr. Boateng told Show host Kojo Yankson.

He added however: “We’ll meet with our suppliers [Volta River Authority and Ghana Grid Company] on the situation."

According to him, the power distributor is the hardest hit by the development because, its staff cannot read the consumption levels of consumers. “Now we can’t even go and read consumers’ meters because any time they go the meters are off,” he said.

Guys, I disagree with the attitude and reactions trailing Ghana's present predicament.

Notwithstanding any tantrums or disagreements in the past, we should express concerns toward their plight.

Ghana at least accept they have a challenge and are gearing up for the resultant effects. In similar vein, let us as Nigerians identify ours and ascertain solutions too!
