News Line! ECG begins emergency load management: Power supply shortfalls from the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) have prompted the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to embark on emergency power management exercise for the past three weeks. With no hope of stabilisation of supplies in sight, the exercise is likely to occur anytime GRIDCo prompts the ECG to cut down on power supply to some of its consumers. According to the Public Relations Officer of the ECG, Mr William Boaterig,the emergency load management had become necessary as the power generators experienced shortages in power supplies from the Bui Generating Plant, as well as the Tema and the Aboadze Thermal plants. The exercise has so far led to the offloading of between 70 and 200 megawatts of power from the national grid to consumers between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. on different occasions.
