Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, has cut power supply to greater parts of Kumasi and some adjoining towns in the Ashanti Region.
The power transmitter cut power supply to the area at about 9:22am Saturday.
Some areas including Konongo, Juaso and Agogo are also without electricity.
According to information from the Ashanti Regional Public Relations Manager of ECG, Erasmus Baidoo, GRIDCo is carrying out maintenance exercise on its transmission network in the region, hence, the reason for the outages.
According to him, electricity supply would be restored to Konongo, Juaso and Agogo by 4pm today, but could not confirm when the other affected areas would have power restored to them.
“ECG is on standby to pick the load as soon as it’s informed to do so,” he said.
“The inconvenience caused to our cherished customers is deeply regretted,” he concluded.
