The Tema South District of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has called on community leaders to support the company in protecting its assets.
Ing. Horace Nkansah, District Manager, emphasized that some substations have been turned into dumpsites, affecting work and power supply.
The company also faces challenges with fuse theft, which affects power supply and leaves customers without electricity.
Ing. Horace Nkansah made the appeal during an engagement with some community leaders on February 4,2025.
Community leaders expressed concerns about stable power supply and low voltage situations, and were informed that some outages are caused by faults and problems created by individuals.
Ing. Nkansah pleaded with community leaders to help inform residents to take security seriously and refrain from breaking into substations or using them as storage facilities.
He explained that while some outages are caused by the company, others result from faults and problems caused by individuals.
He cited examples of fuse theft and transformer damage, emphasizing that such incidents are not the company’s responsibility.
Ing. Nkansah also highlighted the issue of people breaking into substations and using them as storage facilities, which can lead to fatalities.
He urged community leaders to inform residents to take security seriously and refrain from such acts.
The community leaders appreciated the district’s response to their challenges.
A WhatsApp platform has been established for community leaders and ECG officials to share information and address concerns promptly.
