Some parts of Ghana and Republic of Benin and Togo countries are currently experiencing power outages due to a lingering disruption in gas supply from Nigeria. Major cities in Ghana, the Republic of Benin and Togo have been plunged into darkness.
The development comes as the West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited in Accra, Ghana , recently announced it was experiencing a drop in gas volumes available for transportation. In a statement last Wednesday, WAPCO said one of its gas producers in Nigeria was carrying out some maintenance works. As a result, the gas producer was said to have shut its facility for a three-week maintenance work.
“One of the producers of the natural gas WAPCO which transports from Nigeria has shut down its facility for three-week maintenance, resulting in a decrease of gas available for WAPCO to transport to customers in Togo, Benin and Ghana. The current situation is entirely out of WAPCO's control. Meanwhile, the Ghana Grid Company Limited and the Electricity Company of Ghana have informed electricity consumers in the country that some areas were already plunged into darkness.
