Ghana must address root cause of 330kV line trips to avert blackouts – ACEP

Mr Boakye’s comments come amid renewed concerns over the reliability and resilience of Ghana’s power transmission system following repeated disruptions in August.“So you really have to also address what is causing the trips on the 330 kV line, because even if you fix a sumo, that prevents a total collapse.
