The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has justified the disruption of power supply to parts of the country in the early hours of Wednesday.
In a statement, it said the power disruption was caused by a trip in a transformer at the Kintampo substation.
The development affected all four regions in the Northern part of the country.
“Prior to this, at 05:29am, a 330/161kV auto transformer at the Kintampo substation tripped causing an outage to the Anwomaso-Kumasi Transmission Line resulting in the system disturbance,” it said as it apologized for the inconvenience.
Power was restored at 07:35am, it said in a statement.
