Large swaths of Ghana are facing power blackouts due to gas shortages at a major power facility, the nation’s power operator said, compounding the country’s worst economic crisis in decades.

“Limited gas supply” at a power installation in Tema, located east of the Ghanian capital, Accra, has led to “a supply gap of 550MW at peak time,” the Ghana Grid Company said of the power outages in a statement Thursday evening.

GRIDCo did not say in its statement when electricity would be restored to affected areas. CNN has reached out to the agency for further comment. A CSS study released in June said, “available data shows the country’s current energy provision is critically unhealthy and tottering towards a power crisis” and also “faces a dire energy situation from 2023 going into the near future.”
