The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has outlined a five-day schedule of planned and emergency maintenance works expected to disrupt power supply in parts of Accra and Tema. The planned maintenance, due to run from Sunday, 1 March to Thursday, 5 March, forms part of efforts to improve network stability and service reliability. In a statement released on Friday, 27 February, ECG’s Communications Department said the works would require temporary power interruptions across sections of Greater Accra, Tema, Accra East and Accra West.
The first phase begins on Sunday, 1 March. Residents of Trassaco Valley Enclave and nearby communities will be without electricity between 9:00am and 3:00pm. Within the same timeframe, industrial and commercial customers along Western Road in Tema — including Early Power, Apollo Steel, Crown Can, De-Simone, Tropical Cable, Multi Pac, Jon Moore, Cal Bank and La Bianca — will also experience outages.
An emergency operation has additionally been scheduled in Accra West on Sunday, affecting La Darkuman, Kokompe and adjoining areas. ECG said the intervention is required to correct urgent network faults and expressed regret for the inconvenience. On Monday, 2 March, planned maintenance will continue in Accra West, with Alogboshie, Achimota Neoplan, Benjilo, Akweteman and surrounding communities affected from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
