GRIDCo is only documenting ECG’s failure to act – ACEP Boss

The Executive Director of the Africa Center for Energy Policy (ACEP), Ben Boakye, has said that the issues that have resulted in Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) writing to the Minister of Energy are not new to players in the power sector.

He said that the GRIDCo letter to the Minister is only an attempt do comment on the failure of the Electricity Company of Ghana ( ECG)  to act appropriately.

He said this while commenting on the letter that GRIDCo wrote to the Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, highlighting their concerns against the failure of the Electcirty Company ofGhana ( ECG) to provide the load-shedding management timetable by following the instructions issued by the National System Control Center (NSCC).

Mr Boakye said on the mid-day news on 3FM with Beatrice Adu “I am not surprised, these are issues that are known to all the players so I think what GRDICo is just trying to do is to document that these people are not heeding to the plan that they put put, the writing that they put out.

“They want the Minister to take direct responsibility and call all the others to order. That is essentially what they have done.”
