ECG Announces Multi-Day Power Outages Across Ghana for Grid Maintenance and Fault Repairs

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a series of scheduled power outages across several regions, beginning Wednesday, June 10, and continuing through Thursday, June 11, 2026. These interruptions are necessary to facilitate essential maintenance work and address a transformer fault, both of which are critical for enhancing the overall reliability and efficiency of the national power grid. The affected areas span a broad geographical range, including the Ashanti, Tema, Volta, Western, and both the East and West sections of the Greater Accra Region.

On Wednesday, June 10, the outages were prompted by a combination of scheduled maintenance activities and an unexpected transformer fault. ECG officials have confirmed that technical teams are actively working on-site to rectify the faults and complete the maintenance tasks. The company has urged residents in the Ashanti, Tema, Accra West, and Volta regions to prepare for these disruptions, emphasizing that the works are vital for preventing long-term damage to the distribution infrastructure and ensuring a more stable power supply in the coming months.

For Thursday, June 11, the maintenance schedule specifically targets parts of the Accra East and Western Regions. In Accra East, power will be interrupted from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, impacting residents and businesses in West Trassaco and Doryumu. Meanwhile, in the Western Region, the outage is scheduled from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, affecting key locations such as Akoon and the Apinto Hospital. These localized outages are part of the utility provider's broader strategy to perform preventative maintenance on its equipment to ensure sustained service delivery.

ECG has expressed its regret for the inconvenience these outages may cause to domestic and commercial customers. The company advises the public to make necessary alternative arrangements for their power needs during the specified periods and to report any electrical hazards discovered during the maintenance window to the nearest ECG office or via their digital platforms. Engineers remain committed to restoring power promptly upon the completion of the works, ensuring that service delivery returns to normalcy as quickly as possible.
