The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has dismissed reports of a purported load-shedding timetable circulating on social media, describing it as false and not originating from official sources.

The denial follows the publication of a leaked schedule by The News Centa with the headline “6-Hour Dumsor Timetable Leaks.” Sources at the Ministry told Class FM Online that no such timetable exists within the system.

The story alleged that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has rolled out a structured six-hour power rationing timetable affecting parts of the Greater Accra, Volta, Ashanti Regions, and the Tema enclave, as the country grapples with persistent instability in electricity supply following a disruption linked to a fire outbreak at a substation near the Akosombo Dam.

The timetable, which took effect over the weekend and runs into the new week, divides affected communities into three operational groups—A, B, and C—with each group scheduled to experience at least six hours of electricity interruption within every 24-hour cycle.

This , the Ministry claimed is not true and does reflect what is happeningon the ground 

According to the Ministry, the sector Minister is expected to address ongoing challenges in the power distribution sector at a press conference scheduled for 2:00 p.m. at the Jubilee House as part of the government’s accountability series.

Meanwhile, the General Manager for External Communications at the Electricity Company of Ghana, Dr. Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku, has said it is premature to introduce a load-shedding timetable despite recent power outages in parts of the country.

He explained that the disruptions are linked to ongoing repair works on key transmission infrastructure following a recent fire at a substation operated by the Ghana Grid Company in Akosombo.

Dr. Ayiku noted that engineers are actively working to restore stability to the national grid, adding that some areas are already experiencing improvements in power supply.

He assured the public that the situation is being managed and urged calm, expressing optimism that normal electricity supply will be fully restored in the coming days.

According to him, a formal load management schedule would only be considered if the situation persists and fails to improve over time.
