Power Goes Out Across Ghana After System Failure

On July 29, 2026, a problem in Ghana's power system forced several power plants to shut down, leaving Accra, Kumasi, and much of the north without electricity. Think of it like a circuit breaker tripping in a house, but nationwide. GRIDCo, which runs the power network, said engineers are working to restore electricity safely but gave no timeline. An investigation is underway.
