The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced that the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has reduced power supply to its Pokuase and Smelter 2 Bulk Supply Points.
Although ECG did not give any reason for the power reduction, this, the company says is resulting in power outages in some areas in Accra.
The affected areas are Kwabenya, Agbogba, Mayera, Part of Teiman, Ayi Mensah, Katapor, Top Herbal, Bohye, Abloradjei, Pure Water, Pokuase Township, Fountain Gate, and surrounding areas.
Other areas include Ghana Steel, Palace Mall, Furniture City, Lovely Transport, Kpone Barrier, Kingdom Transport, GPHA Terminal(Kpone), Sethi Realty, Abodakpi Farms, Kpone Dump Site, Bediako, Golf City and its environs.
“ECG wishes to assure all affected customers that once GRIDCO turns on supply, power will be restored. ECG regrets the inconvenience caused to the affected customers,” the company said in a statement.
The statement, however, did not provide a specific time for the power restoration.
A statement from ECG explained that the recent power cuts in Koforidua and its environs are due to technical challenges at the Ghana Grid Company Ltd (GRIDCo).
