‘Dumsor’ to worsen – Power Ministry
The Ministry of Power has served notice the
“current increase in the quantum of load
shedding” will linger on for a while because
the Ghana National Gas Company’s plant at
Atoabo has been shut down.

According to a statement from the Ministry, the
shutdown has become imperative to “enable
the African Middle East Investment (AMERI) Power
Plant to be connected onto the gas supply system
of Ghana Gas.”

“The AMERI Plant at Aboadze currently being
installed, is expected to generate additional 250
MW into the National Interconnected Transmission
Systems (NITS) when fully commissioned,” the
statement signed by the ministry’s
spokesperson Kweku Sersah-Johnson added.

It noted: “Engineers of both the Ghana
National Gas Company Ltd (Ghana Gas) and AMERI are
working round the clock to complete the connection
of the gas line and to ameliorate the recent
further decline in power supply in the
country.”

“The public is kindly requested to bear with
the situation as the gas line connection is
expected to be completed soon.”
