The The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) and the Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC) have announced a planned shutdown of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant to complete critical repair works following a recent system fault.
In a joint press release dated April 19, 2026, the agencies said the shutdown is necessary to finalise the replacement of a damaged Burner Management System (BMS) controller, which was affected by a major fault reported on April 15.
According to the statement, repair works are about 90 percent complete, with the final installation requiring a five-hour shutdown scheduled from midnight to 5:00 a.m. on Monday, April 20, 2026.
GRIDCo and Ghana Gas assured the public that all technical and operational measures have been put in place to ensure the work is completed within the stipulated timeframe, while minimising the impact on consumers.
They reiterated their commitment to maintaining a stable and reliable power supply and apologised for any inconvenience the temporary shutdown may cause.
