The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a scheduled maintenance operation across the Ashanti Region this month to enhance power distribution and ensure a stable electricity supply.
Led by the Ashanti Sub-Transmission team, the maintenance effort will focus on key substations that serve thousands of homes, businesses, and industries.
Manager of the Substations and Switchgear Maintenance, Ing. Edem Agra, emphasized the importance of the exercise, noting that it is part of ECG’s annual maintenance strategy.
“This prioritises proactive system care over reactive interventions. Our goal is to ensure long-term asset health, minimise system downtime, and ultimately give our customers the consistent power supply they deserve,” he said.
Between June 12 and June 27, ECG engineers will work on upgrading and cleaning critical switchgear and transformers at Kaase Main D, KTI Main G, and Fawode Main W substations.
Affected residents may experience brief outages as maintenance teams operate around the clock to complete the necessary upgrades.
General Manager for Ashanti Sub-Transmission, Ing. Peter K. Fletcher, stressed the broader implications of the initiative.
“This is more than wires and transformers. It’s a promise to our customers—to prevent outages before they happen, reduce system strain, and ensure a more robust power network that supports homes, industries, and businesses alike,” he stated.
With this initiative, ECG aims to strengthen the region’s electricity infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruptions while meeting growing demand for reliable power supply.
“We maintain it today to prevent the outage tomorrow. We will ensure long-term asset health and reliable service for every customer,” says Collins Manu, Head of Public Relations, Ashanti Sub-Transmission.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed through ECG’s communication channels as engineers execute the planned maintenance.
