The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has asked the general public to expect more power outages during peak hours (7pm to 11pm).
According to the ECG, 630 distribution transformers within communities across its operational areas have been identified to be full to capacity due to increased power demand.
It said this may result in blown fuses and broken conductors causing outages, especially during the peak load period (7pm – 11pm) in the affected areas.
“However, we wish to assure our customers that transformer upgrading, and new projects are on-going to relieve these transformers to ensure a more reliable power supply,” the post added.
“Customers within the underlisted communities/localities are therefore advised to report any localised outage or voltage fluctuations to the ECG Call Center on 0302-611611 (also available on WhatsApp) or reach us on our social media handles via ECGghOfficial (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) for prompt rectification,” ECG said in a post on Facebook.
It has therefore asked Ghanaians who would be affected by this to have patience and support the company as it continues to work to improve Ghana’s power distribution system.
