The three electricity providers are to set up a technical committee to investigate the circumstances that led to a string of nationwide blackouts.
The providers, the Volta River Authority, the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCO), and the Electricity Company of Ghana, ECG, are expected to submit their report to the Ministry of Energy within 24 hours.
They are also required to outline strategies to forestall future occurrences.
The Minister of Energy, Dr Joe Oteng-Adjei who gave the directive, told the Daily Graphic that last Wednesday's blackout was worrying and therefore an independent enquiry to ascertain the challenge is necessary.
He said much as government acknowledges the constraints in the power sector, total blackout can be prevented if systems were managed effectively.
He urged the Utility Companies to be up and doing because Ghanaians are beginning to lose their patience on such incidents.
