The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) has announced plans to replace a damaged pylon on the Tema-Achimota transmission line on August 23. This follows the completion of the first phase of repair works. The pylon in question is situated on the 161 kV assessment section of the Tema-Achimota line, which was damaged due to a welding explosion in July of this year.
GRIDCo's Communications Department revealed that their engineers successfully finished the initial repair works on August 16, resulting in the restoration of power to consumers. The Company has partnered with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and intends to provide advance notice to customers and communities that may be impacted by the planned replacement, including any potential power supply disruptions.
The initiative aims to restore the transmission line's full integrity, reliability, and resilience. Therefore, GRIDCo is urging the public to exercise patience and cooperation as they work towards completing the pylon replacement.
