Background: Recent maintenance activities

The upcoming four-day exercise follows a series of planned maintenance works ECG has undertaken across the Accra East Region in recent weeks. Earlier this month, the company carried out a five-hour power interruption in the Airport area and surrounding communities on Sunday, August 2, to facilitate maintenance works aimed at improving electricity supply. That was followed by another temporary outage on Monday, August 3, affecting parts of East Legon, Okponglo, Frafraha, Ashiyie and surrounding areas.

The maintenance exercises are part of ECG’s broader efforts to enhance the reliability and efficiency of electricity supply across its operational regions. Similar planned maintenance works have also been undertaken in the Tema, Accra West, Ashanti, Eastern and Volta regions throughout August.

Customer advisory

ECG has advised customers in the listed areas to expect temporary interruptions in electricity supply while the maintenance works are carried out. The company apologised for any inconvenience the outages may cause and urged affected customers to make alternative arrangements and remain patient as the scheduled works are carried out.
