Large swaths of Ghana are facing power blackouts due to gas shortages at a major power facility, the nation’s power operator said, compounding the country’s worst economic crisis in decades.
“Limited gas supply” at a power installation in Tema, located east of the Ghanian capital, Accra, has led to “a supply gap of 550MW at peak time,” the Ghana Grid Company said of the power outages in a statement Thursday evening. Ghana partly relies on natural gas for power generation. The West African nation has battled power outages, known locally as “dumsor” for many years.
Co did not say in its statement when electricity would be restored to affected areas. CNN has reached out to the agency for further comment. Recent studies expect the country’s energy crisis to worsen over the coming years, starting from this year. “Ghana’s energy supply requires urgent, purposeful and significant investment to undo the current precarious situation the country finds itself,” said research and policy think tank, Centre for Socioeconomic Studies .
