The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has announced that the Ghana Grid Company Ltd.’s (GRIDCo) 161kV Aboadze–Tarkwa transmission line has been damaged, potentially disrupting power supply in parts of the country.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry said a maintenance team has been swiftly deployed to the affected site and is working around the clock to restore the line and normalise electricity supply.

Preliminary assessments indicate that the incident could lead to temporary power supply disruptions in parts of the Western and Ashanti Regions, particularly in Kumasi and Tarkwa.

“We wish to assure the general public that every effort is being made to repair the damage and normalise the situation.”

It added that the Ministry “deeply regrets any inconvenience caused” and reaffirmed its commitment to restoring full service as quickly as possible.
