ECG to roll out load shedding schedule soon

The Public Relations Officer of the Electricity of Ghana, Mrs Gloria Dua-Sakyi says the ECG will soon roll out the roster for the load shedding exercise across the country.
She noted that load shedding will occur during the peak period at 6 pm to 10 pm each day during the exercise.
She stated that the cause of the load shedding exercise is due to the closure of the supply valve by the West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAGPC) which has stopped of flow of Gas to Ghana.
This is said to have affected the output of gas fired thermal generating plants in the power system.
Ms Gloria Dua-Sakyi however stated that ECG cannot give timelines as to when the exercise will end.
