Dumsor alert: FPSO Kwame Nkrumah shuts down
Ghanaians may have to brace themselves up for a
few more days of power outages, following the
shutdown of Ghana’s vessel used in collecting
and processing crude oil from the jubilee field,
the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah.

The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), made the
announcement today [Sunday] to enable the general
public plan their schedules since the action will
last for about two weeks.

The vessel, according to GRIDCo, is being shut
down effective Sunday March 20, 2016, for
“mandatory inspection and maintenance works.”

The company in a statement signed by its Chief
Executive, Ing. William Amuna, said this will
affect gas flow from the Atuabo Processing Plant,
and by extension affect the production of power.

“Consequently, gas flow from the Atuabo Gas
Processing plant to the Aboadze Thermal enclave
has been curtailed and is expected to commence
upon resumption of production from the FPSO.”

WAPCo gas pipeline line tampered with

In a related development, GRIDCo also says gas
flow from the West African Gas Pipeline Company
(WAPCo), has suddenly reduced to only 6.0mmscf
from the contracted volume of 120.0mmscf due to a
destruction of some pipelines in Nigeria.

The statement added that following this
development, engineers have commenced the process
of converting all dual fuel thermal plants to run
on light crude oil to resolve the challenge.

“The conversion process, which involves cleaning
of fuel nozzles and other preparatory work, is
expected to take few days to complete.”

According to GRIDCo, “during this period, the
power supply system may experience some challenges
thereby affecting power supply stability.”

They further urged the general public to stay calm
while engineers work around the clock to bring the
supply of gas to normalcy.

During his state of the nation address on February
25 this year, President John Dramani Mahama
showered praises on himself and his appointees
for working to overcome the power crisis.
