The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) says that although it has restored power supply to the Dodowa and Valley View feeders, there are still technical constraints that may lead to outages in some areas served by these feeders.
In a statement, ECG attributed the power supply interruptions experienced in Dodowa, Oyibi, and surrounding areas to multiple faults on the feeders in Valley View and Dodowa.
The statement noted that one of the faults was successfully resolved at 10:05 PM on Wednesday night. It added that work is ongoing to construct a new 10-span overhead line to bypass a damaged 33kV cable that has recently caused repeated disruptions.
Despite deploying three contractors, ECG said the line works could not be completed on Thursday.
It assured that work will resume today with additional resources to expedite completion.
According to ECG, due to ongoing technical constraints, load from two feeders is currently being managed on a single feeder to maintain system stability.
The power distributor apologised for the inconvenience and appreciates the public’s patience as it works to improve service reliability.
