Ghana’s Power Woes Deepen as ECG Fails to Deliver Load Management Timetable

Ghanaians, particularly urban settlers have been experiencing intermittent power outages since the beginning of the year.

Despite calls from a wider section of the public requesting the Electricity Company of Ghana to produce a timetable on its load management schedule, the power distribution company has refused to comply.

However, the company has attributed the crisis to 630 overloaded transformers during peak hours, indicating that these transformers in its operational areas have exceeded their full capacity due to the rising electricity demand.

The Public Utility Regulatory Commission, the statutory body responsible for supervising the provision of essential utility services in the country has mandated ECG to provide a detailed load management timetable to the commission by April 2, 2024.

The requirements by the Commission include providing ratings and current loadings of the overloaded distribution transformers, GPS locations of all overloaded distribution transformers, and ratings of new transformers to be installed at each location.

The Public Utility Regulatory Commission also urged the power distribution company to provide timelines and duration for the installation of transformers, a load management timetable corresponding with the installation timelines, and evidence of dissemination of such information to the consumers.

It is important to state that the absence of a load management timetable from ECG has exacerbated the frustration among Ghanaians already grappling with the recent erratic power supply.

A resident of Racecourse, a suburb of Lapez in the Greater Accra Region, expressing his frustration and resentment towards the recent power outages in the country described the failure of the Electricity Company of Ghana to provide a timetable for the recent power outages as a shirking of responsibility.

He further argued that the lack of transparency on the part of the ECG not only exacerbates the inconvenience experienced by citizens but also erodes trust in the utility provider.

The resident also emphasized the essential nature of reliable and predictable provision of services such as electricity and water, and asserted that in instances where producers face difficulties, transparency in conveying information to customers is paramount.

“When it comes to the provision of essential services delivery, especially power and water, I believe that the producers or the distributors owe to their customers that there is both reliability and predictability. Basically in the event that the producers cannot supply such essential services, it makes sense that they duly convey candid information about their difficulties to their customers.

“So in recent times, the inability of the Electricity Company of Ghana to provide uninterrupted power supply with its attendant failure to produce a load management timetable to Ghanaians is very devastating, and frustrating”.

Calls For Action

It is worth stressing that the impact of the Electricity Company of Ghana’s failure to provide a load management timetable extends beyond inconvenience as it poses a threat to the survival of many businesses and the country’s development trajectory.

Reliable and predictable access to essential services like electricity is paramount for citizens’ well-being and economic stability. In instances where challenges arise, transparency in communication becomes imperative to maintain public trust.

Therefore, as businesses suffer from productivity losses and households endure disruptions, urgent action is needed.

While the government must take immediate steps to address the country’s power crisis, the Electricity Company of Ghana on the other hand must heed the general public calls and the Public Utility Regulatory Commission’s directives and promptly deliver the requested timetable to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians affected by the recent power outages.

For the Electricity Company of Ghana, failure to provide a load schedule management timetable would prolong the agony of citizens and undermine the country’s socio-economic progress.
