The country is currently undergoing a load shedding exercise due to the low supply of gas from Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Speaking on<\/span> the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong> on Monday, the Director of thermal generation at the VRA, Richard Badger indicated that the frequent power outages will soon be a thing of the past despite the challenges been<\/span> faced.<\/p>\n

He admitted that his outfit is \u201cencountering some ups and downs\u201d and the current power generation \u201cis not sufficient to even to power two of the big gas turbines in Takoradi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Badger disclosed that the little<\/span> power they are able to generate is sent to the Asogli power plant while the remainder is distributed through the VRA\u2019s smaller plants in Tema<\/span>.<\/p>\n

He also pointed out that \u201cbetween now, the end of April, the end of June and the end of July, we will be ramping up the capacity form<\/span> the thermal side and we are hoping that by the end of July, we will be able to come out completely.\u201d<\/p>\n
