ECG announces planned power cuts in Ashanti, Central and Tema regions from April 7–9, see affected areas
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a series of power outages scheduled to take place across parts of the Ashanti, Central and Tema regions between April 7 and April 9.
According to ECG, the interruptions are linked to multiple technical faults and infrastructure challenges currently affecting its network in the various regions.
In the Ashanti West Region, the company attributed the outages to an underground cable fault at Kronum Methodist, as well as a fallen conductor at Abrokyire.
In the Central Region, ECG said the power disruption was caused by faults in its network following a heavy rainstorm at Assin Fosu, which affected supply in several communities.
The Tema Region is also experiencing outages due to faults within the network, although specific causes were not detailed.
