Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, has announced that work on relocating two of its major electricity transmission towers near Osino in the Eastern Region will be completed today, Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
The project, which involves relocating and restringing transmission lines along the Anyinam bypass, became necessary after severe erosion from the ongoing Kumasi–Accra road reconstruction project endangered the stability of the towers.
In a statement, GRIDCo said its Engineering, Technical Services, and Southern Network Departments have been working closely with the Ghana Highway Authority and its contractors to resite the infrastructure safely.
According to the company, Towers 226 and 227, standing 53 and 48 metres tall respectively, have already been erected, and engineers are currently completing the stringing of the power lines.
GRIDCo stated that the relocation is being carried out in strict adherence to safety and technical standards to ensure the stability of the national transmission network.
The company assured the public that it continues to collaborate with the Ghana Highway Authority to prevent future disruptions and safeguard power infrastructure along major national roads.
