Akosombo Fire: GridCo CEO asked to step aside, ECG leadership faces shake-up

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Honourable John Jinapor, has directed the Chief Executive Officer of GRIDCo to step aside pending investigations into a fire incident at the Akosombo power control centre.

The directive forms part of immediate actions taken following the incident, which has raised concerns about operations within Ghana’s power management system.
