The Minister for Energy and Green Transition has directed the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) to step aside as investigations commence into a recent fire incident at the Akosombo power control center. This development follows a significant shake-up in the leadership of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) within the Ashanti Region.
The directive to the GRIDCo CEO is a precautionary measure pending the outcome of the inquiry into the fire incident, which may have implications for power transmission stability. Concurrently, the changes at ECG's Ashanti Regional leadership signal a broader administrative review within the power distribution sector.
