The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has notified the public of power interruptions affecting various communities across the Tema and Central regions. These outages result from a combination of an unexpected network fault in the Greater Accra area and a planned maintenance schedule designed to improve infrastructure in the Central Region. ECG officials have confirmed that their technical teams are working to address both the immediate repairs and the scheduled upgrades to ensure service stability. In the Tema Region, technical challenges have led to an immediate loss of power in several key neighborhoods. Residents and businesses in Community 17, the Timber Market, and Baatsonaa are currently experiencing supply disruptions. ECG engineers are on-site working to resolve the underlying network fault as a priority. The company emphasized that it is focusing on the rapid restoration of power to these areas to minimize the impact on local commercial activities and residential life. Simultaneously, the power distributor has scheduled a maintenance exercise for Tuesday, October 13, which will impact supply in the Central Region. This planned interruption will affect several major towns, including Komenda, Elmina, and Agona Town. According to the company, the maintenance is an essential part of its strategy to enhance the robustness of the regional power grid and prevent future unplanned outages. This proactive measure is intended to safeguard the long-term reliability of the distribution network. ECG has urged customers in the Central Region to prepare for the temporary loss of power on Tuesday and has apologized for the disruption to daily routines. The company stated that these efforts are part of a broader commitment to maintaining a stable and reliable distribution network for all consumers. Updates regarding the progress of the repairs in Tema and the completion of the maintenance in the Central Region will be provided through the company’s official communication channels as work progresses.
