The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has guaranteed that the closure of FPSO John Agyekum Kufour will not lead to power outages.

The shutdown is planned from September 12 to 18 for maintenance purposes.

ECG has assured that alternative fuel arrangements are in place to reduce any potential impact on power generation.

However, the company also noted that should there be any effect on power supply, the public will be notified immediately.

"Eni Ghana Exploration and Production Limited and partners will be undertaking a planned maintenance of the FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor, and its ancillary infrastructure from Thursday, 12th September Wednesday, 18th September, 2024. This activity will lead to curtailment in gas supply from these facilities during the period.

"Government has made alternative arrangements for fuel to mitigate the impact of the shutdown on power generation. We do not therefore, anticipate power outages as a result of this exercise. However, in the unlikely event that power generation is impacted, the public will be duly informed," a press statement from the ECG said.
