Many Ghanaians seem to be blaming the new company that took over the management of the Electricity Company of Ghana, PDS for the crisis.
But GRIDCo, the systems operator has issued an apology for the near nationwide blackout on Tuesday.
PDS has also assured the public that it receives enough power from power generation companies for onward distribution.
But as the face of the energy sector, the company remains to blame for the power outages in the eyes of the public.
