\n

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has disclosed that it issued over 100 notices of power outages in the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n

Much of the notices, according to the power distributor, were to pave the way for maintenance works to be carried out on some of its transmission equipment.<\/p>\n

The disclosure was in response to a March 18 query from the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to ECG to give \u201ccopies of ECG publications informing the general public of power outages from 1 January 2024 to date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Various parts of the country have been experiencing frequent power cuts, with many people demanding a load-shedding schedule to help them plan their lives but the management of ECG insists there will not be a schedule because the cuts are a result of technical challenges.<\/p>\n

The PURC in its March 18 directive also ordered ECG to publish a load management timetable by April 2, 2024.<\/p>\n
