Akosombo fire caused by ageing cables, not sabotage

The News

An investigating committee found that the Akosombo Substation fire was caused by insulation failure in decades-old cables in the low-voltage panel, not human interference. The initial power supply automatically tripped at 311 amps, but a second transformer set to trip only at 450 amps allowed the fault to continue and generate excessive heat.

Why it matters

Key infrastructure finding: Akosombo fire caused by aging cables, not sabotage—important closure on a major national incident affecting power supply.
