Addressing the general public, the Minister appealed for patience and understanding, emphasizing that authorities are deploying all available resources to ensure the swift restoration of stable electricity supply across the country.
The fire incident at the Akosombo Substation has had widespread implications for power distribution, prompting urgent intervention by sector stakeholders to stabilize the national grid.
