The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced the successful completion of Phase Two of the Government’s Transformer Replacement and Upgrade Programme at the Lashibi Primary Substation, ahead of schedule.
Although the project was originally expected to be completed on Friday, April 17, 2026, ECG’s technical teams worked tirelessly around the clock to complete the installation and testing of the new equipment ahead of time.
Consequently, power supply to the affected areas has been fully restored earlier than expected.
In a statement signed by Dr. Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku (APR), Acting Director of Communications at ECG, the company confirmed the development on Thursday.
The statement also provided an update on the next phase of ECG’s efforts to strengthen the power network.
It said the location and schedule for the next power transformer upgrade are currently being finalized, and a formal announcement will be made through ECG’s official communication channels in the coming days.
As part of the Government’s broader agenda to strengthen the national power system, ECG will soon begin an expanded programme to replace aging distribution transformers in affected communities, the statement added.
“These projects are aimed at reducing system overloads, minimizing frequent outages, and ensuring a more stable and reliable power supply for customers,” the statement said.
ECG expressed its sincere appreciation to the residents of Lashibi and surrounding communities for their patience, cooperation, and understanding during the brief planned outages.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to delivering improved and reliable electricity services to support Ghana’s development
