PDS releases list of areas to experience power outages on Saturday

The Power Distribution Services Ghana Limited has released a list of areas throughout the country that will experience 14hours of power outages on Saturday, April 6.

Those areas include parts of the Volta, Central, Western, Greater Accra, Tema and Eastern regions.

In Accra, Oxford Street in Osu, New Town, The National Theatre, Dansoman, Alisa Hotel and Odokor will be affected. The outage will last from 4 AM – 6 PM.

The outage stems from the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant that shut down last week.

At a press briefing Monday, Deputy Minister of Energy in charge of Power, Mr William Owuraku Aidoo, apologised for the inconvenience the outage has caused.

“On behalf of the Minister of Energy, John-Peter Amewu, and the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, I want to apologise to the people of Ghana for the current situation and assure them that we have taken steps to deal with the challenge,” he said.

He continued: “Our hope, as a ministry, was to reduce drastically the impact of the interconnectivity exercise, so we thought the public would not even know about the partial shutdown, but, unfortunately, this is where we find ourselves.”
