...Aboadze's Steam Turbine undergoes urgent repairs
Accra, May 28, GNA - The Volta River Authority (VRA) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) on Monday announced that the steam turbine at the Aboadze Plant has developed a technical problem, since last Sunday, May 27
With the Akosombo Hydroelectric Plant still running on two turbines, because of the low water level in the Volta Lake, there will be no additional power from hydro generation to cater for the shortfall. A joint statement by the VRA and ECG issued in Accra said this situation will mean that there may be further power curtailment in various parts of the country.
"We however, wish to assure our valued customers that this is a temporary challenge and we expect to return the turbine into service by the end of the week.
"We regret the inconvenience to consumers of electricity and appeal to the general public to bear with us," the statement added.
