PURC has began to flex its muscles. This is what PURC should have been seen to be doing rather pandering always to the demands of utility companies. Well done.

It appears that all our important organisations/Institutions have been infiltrated by NPP saboteurs. THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE BUT A PLANNED (ROUTINE) ONE. Why can't therefore GRIDCo wait for the power situation to improve before embarking on the routine maintenance. NPP IS BENT ON MAKING GHANA UNGOVERNABLE AT ALL COST THINKING BY DOING THAT AKUFO ADDO WOULD WIN THE 2016 ELECTIONS. THAT WOULD BE LIVING IN A FOOL'S PARADISE.

Its sad and unfortunate to expose ones ignorance in the midst of common knowledge. What benefit will the NPP get out of this maintenance if such works will be to the benefit of Ghanaians oh i see, have u forgotten the President promise of fixing the problem of dumsor than managing it, now its wrong to ask for maintenance work. Sorry please be objective partisan politics will not help mother Ghana.

It is very dangerous when the government starts to tell companies when to have their SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE OR NOT...It sounds like politics as usual.......

It would be appropriate if you could order the GRIDco to refund all the baseless and thiefly charges you and the so-called GRIDco to restore and refund all our monies back after their poor service to us and the nation as a whole. We can't tolerate this bad and poor delivery of service. Excuse us nana and actively act as you demanded an increment when it wasn't due got poor service. bad leadership and corruptors never in the history of Ghana.

You ignorant person.
Don't interfere with engineering maintenance programmes. Will you take responsibility should the postponement result in a catastrophic explosion and workers die??

Are Ghanaians really thinking nowadays? I have never heard this before. It is believed Africans lack maintenance but for a government agency come out to say maintenance should be suspended, I think this is the first time since the world was created. This will plunge the country now into total darkness. First dumsor government converted a dam into a bridge and now they want the transformers to get burnt one by one. Why did they not suspend the ado I bridge for the world bank lorries to fall into the river with the world bank foolish human resources? What are the qualifications of this woman? Is she one of the dumsor associates? No no no to this one.

No one in Ghana can convince that the current power crisis is not a calculated plan of sabotage to make the Mahama government unpopular.

The trend has been that immediately the situation become improved, and the government assures Ghanaians that the problem will be solved by a certain date, a plant goes off or major maintenance has to take place.

I think Nana is right. the maintenance could wait.

Defer? What manner of thinking is this? They should defer maintenance so that the equipment can break down! Rather strange.

Planned maintenance works to be deferred under pressure from PURC? Do they know the essence of maintenance? Have they assessed the situation in great detail? What will be the reaction of PURC if the deferment should cause a complete breakdown of some important equipment? This country is really sick!

Is PURC boss a technical person? does she understand the effects of deferred maintenance on equipment?

The chairperson of PURC is being forced by the NDC administration to put a break on the necessary maintenance because they think the accompanying outages will affect them politically.

Bravo madam. This is incredible, what is Gridco telling us. This is absolute rubbish- planned maintenance at this time? Who the hell are behind such a move to aggravate the current power crisis? Whose interest are the Gridco serving? Is it Ghanaians or those who have vowed to make this nation ungovernable??? I pause for answers.....
By the way did I hear somebody insulting the purc boss? To those people is it ignorance or lack of understanding of issues at stake. This level of sheer ignorance should be treated with contempt. After all the lady is only asking for the right thing to be done so what is the justification of the insults. Isn't right that Gridco provides the information she is asking for? Aaaba there is too much ignoramus in the system.
