Accra residents will face brief power outages over the weekend as authorities repair a damaged transmission line. The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition announced that necessary restoration works on the damaged Tema–Achimota 161kV line will temporarily disrupt electricity for a few hours. The line was compromised when a fuel tanker, being welded below the structure, exploded, sending parts over 300 meters into a transmission tower and causing significant structural damage.
Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, the Minister, emphasized that these interruptions are essential to stabilize and secure the transmission system, urging citizens to cooperate and avoid entering restricted areas or interfering with critical infrastructure.
