Ing. Samed Abdul Ibrahim, currently Director of the Project Implementation Unit, has also been appointed Acting Deputy Chief Executive for Engineering and Operations.
Ing. Otchere now assumes leadership of GRIDCo, the state-owned power transmission company responsible for electricity transmission across Ghana and within the West African power pool.
GRIDCo urged staff to extend the “necessary cooperation and support” to the newly appointed executives in the discharge of their duties.
The management changes come as the company steps up efforts to strengthen operational efficiency and stabilise the national grid following recent challenges within the power sector.
GRIDCo recently suffered a major setback after a fire outbreak at the Akosombo switchyard control room disrupted sections of electricity transmission and generation operations across the country.
