There’s no need for ‘dumsor’ timetable – ECG

In an update, Ing. Kwadwo Obeng, the current Deputy Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has decided to reject calls from citizens to release a load shedding timetable for the soon to be ‘dumsor’ Ghana would be experiencing.

Yesternight, ECG together with GRIDCo, released a press to announce a Three-week power outage due to a shortage of gas supply from Ghana’s neighboring country, Nigeria.

The load-shedding timestable would go a long way to help these business owners as it would help them plan and prepare for the three-week power outage in the country.

In an interview with Citi News, some barbers, and tailors expressed the need for a Dumsor timetable to enable them to plan their operations.

“I think that the situation will have some effects on our businesses. There is nothing we can do. It’s only God that we are praying to save us from this. Because we don’t have any solution, I don’t have a generator to work. So, if there is no light, what can I do?

“I just have to sit down and wait till the lights are turned on. If there’s no light, how can I work? I can’t work. And if there is no work, how do you expect me to eat? Or solve my problems?

But speaking at a public forum on addressing the power sector challenges, Ing. Kwadwo Obeng maintained that a scheduled timetable may not be accurate if other faults and maintenance works also occur.

“We’re collaborating with local manufacturers, we’re collaborating with companies that have plants here…there’s more certainty in the amount that needs to be shed, then the utilities can also plan, then we’re definite.

“We know there will be a three-week [challenge], do we even know the quantum, we don’t know the quantum. Without the quantum, how do you even prepare the schedule? There are several factors, having known the quantum, you need to know the duration, there’s an off-peak period, peak period.”
