VRA Announces Load Management

The Management of the Volta River Authority (VRA) is informing the general public that owing to a drastic reduction in the supply of gas from Nigeria through the West Africa Gas Pipeline..., ...to power the Thermal Plants, there will be a reduction in power supply by 100mega watts during the peak periods from 6.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. VRA has therefore requested the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to undertake a load management exercise in various parts of the country, until the situation returns to normalcy. Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing with the suppliers of the gas to increase supply from the current 40 million standard cubic feet per day (mscf/d), to the contractual volumes of 100 mscf/d, to enable us operate all our thermal facilities. We assure our valued customers and the general public that VRA is committed to ensuring the supply of adequate power to all its customers, and regret any inconvenience caused.
