IES demands release of July 29 blackout report after latest nationwide outage
The Institute for Energy Security (IES) is calling on the government and the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) to release the findings of the technical investigation into the nationwide power outage recorded on July 29, 2026.
Mr Xatse said the recurrence of a nationwide outage before the findings of the earlier investigation had been released raises questions about the resilience of the country’s power system.
On July 29, several generating plants reportedly tripped off, resulting in disturbances across the national power system and a nationwide blackout.
