The Public Relations Officer of Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) Albert Quainoo says the company is not obliged to compensate anyone or any community to be affected by the planned (Electrify) load shedding which is scheduled to begin from February 5 to March 12.
Mr. Quainoo tells Adom News that the exercise is in the interest of the entire nation and therefore no one can insist that compensation should be paid.
This is against the earlier position stated by the PURC that anyone who is able to produce enough evidence to show that they have experienced a loss due to the power outage will be compensated.
Albert Quainoo says only a few communities will be affected by the outage in Accra and Tema.
He explains that that the exercise is to enable the Company to add a new transmission line to the existing three transmission lines serving Accra and its environs from Tema.
GRIDCo says it had obtained US$1.5 million to string the fourth transmission line from the main switchyard in Tema into the Achimota substation to increase power transfer and reliability to the city of Accra and beyond.
