MANUAL OUTAGE REPORTING SYSTEM IN PLACE The ECG

Volta Region operates a manual outage reporting system, whose credibility depends on the level of diligence with which the input data is provided. Records inspected indicate a reasonable level of diligence in collating the reports. Comparison between data submitted to the EC and the monthly Tech Reports from the District however revealed some major discrepancies.

Specifically, Monthly Technical Reports examined at the District level for January, February and March indicated that there were occurrences of outages from GRIDCO, however the 1st Quarter Performance Report received from ECG did not capture these outages from GRIDCO. This omission therefore makes the Report incomplete.
