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.
