GRIDCo completes tower replacement on Tema-Achimota transmission line

Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has successfully completed the replacement of a damaged transmission tower on the Ashaiman section of the 161kV Tema-Achimota transmission line. According to a statement released on August 23, 2026, GRIDCo's engineers and technical teams carried out the replacement work safely. This restoration of power enabled the resumption of electricity supply to all areas in the Greater Accra Region that were affected during the project.

The company expressed gratitude to the public for their patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout the process.

GRIDCo emphasized the importance of respecting the transmission line's Right-of-Way corridors. Following a directive from the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, the company reminded all individuals, businesses, land users, and other entities occupying or conducting activities within these corridors to vacate their premises by September 12, 2026. This deadline was given to ensure the safety and integrity of the transmission line and its surroundings.

GRIDCo reiterated that after the specified deadline, it will collaborate with relevant statutory institutions to enforce the law and remove any unauthorized structures and activities from the transmission line Right-of-Way.
