The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has announced that it will temporarily shut down the 161kV Akosombo–Nkawkaw transmission line from Sunday, October 5, to Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
In a statement, GRIDCo explained that the shutdown is necessary to facilitate the relocation of two transmission towers along the Kumasi–Accra highway, where road expansion works by the Ghana Highway Authority are currently ongoing.
The company assured the public that adequate arrangements have been put in place to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the period of the shutdown. GRIDCo further indicated that its technical teams and engineers will remain on standby to swiftly address any unforeseen challenges that may arise.
“GRIDCo apologises for any inconvenience this exercise may cause and reaffirms its commitment to maintaining a safe, reliable, and efficient electricity transmission network across the country,” the statement read.
The relocation exercise is part of broader efforts to synchronize critical national infrastructure development, balancing the country’s growing energy demands with the expansion of its transport network.
