The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced that the ongoing upgrade of key sub-transmission lines from KNUST Primary Substation to Kaase Primary Substation, and from Kaase to Ridge Bulk Supply Point in Kumasi, is expected to be completed by 5 June 2026.
This was stated by Dr. Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku, APR, General Manager of External Communications at ECG, in a statement released on Friday, May 29, 2026.
According to the statement, the project involves upgrading existing 265 sqmm conductors to 400 sqmm conductors and replacing weak cables to enhance power transfer capacity and improve the reliability and stability of electricity supply across the Greater Kumasi area.
Upon completion, the project is expected to improve power supply reliability and voltage quality, and strengthen electricity supply to Kaase, Kuntenase, Sewua, Bekwai, and surrounding communities.
The project will also reinforce the sub-transmission link between the Kumasi 1 (K1) and Kumasi 2 (K2) Bulk Supply Points, improving overall network resilience within the Ashanti Region.
ECG sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused to customers and residents during the execution of this important project and assures the public that these temporary challenges are necessary to strengthen and secure a more reliable electricity supply for the region.
