Ghana: ECG Throws Krobo Residents In Darkness As It Cuts Power Supply To Kroboland

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has cut electricity supply to Yilo and Manya Krobo Municipalities in eastern Ghana.

This has left the area without a power supply for three days now.

According to a release issued by the ECG, it said it came to their attention that parts of the area were experiencing outages.

The ECG said its investigations revealed that some unscrupulous persons had transferred customers from a transformer with a phase of the problem to adjacent transformers, thereby, overloading them and destroying several transformers within the communities.

The ECG condemned the total hijack of its network, saying it is unacceptable.

“Given the ongoing interference in our network as a result of the scaling down of our operations in the Krobo area which was necessitated by the threat to our staff, ECG has decided to shut down the feeders at the Bulk Supply Point (BSP) directly feeding the communities to protect our network, lives and properties of innocent customers and the general public within the Lower Manya Krobo and Yilo Krobo communities,” ECG said.
