Ghana’s power distribution company responsible for electricity supply in the southern sector, ECG, has served notice to Ghanaians to expect power outages across its operational areas between 7 pm and 11 pm daily.
ECG explained that, so far, 630 distribution transformers within communities across its operational areas have been identified to be full due to increased power demand.
“This situation may result in blown fuses and broken conductors causing outages, especially during the peak load period (7 pm—11 pm).
“However, we wish to assure our customers that transformer upgrading and new projects are ongoing to relieve these transformers to ensure a more reliable power supply,” ECG said in a statement issued on Monday, March 11, 2024.
The power distributor advised customers within the under-listed communities/localities to report any localised outage or voltage fluctuations to the ECG Call Center at 0302-611611 (also available on WhatsApp) or reach them on their social media handles via ECGghOfficial (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) for prompt rectification.
The statement did not indicate when these outages were going to end.
