The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a series of emergency maintenance works across two regions for Friday, March 20, 2026, even as engineers continue to battle a transformer fault that left several communities in the Accra West Region without power the previous day.
According to advisories issued by the power distributor, emergency maintenance operations will be undertaken in the Central Region on Friday to address urgent network issues and improve service delivery.
The exercise is scheduled to run from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, affecting Apra township, parts of Opeikuma, Opeikuma Roman, and surrounding areas.
The company has assured affected customers that the five-hour interruption is necessary to carry out critical repairs and upgrades aimed at preventing more widespread system failures.
Meanwhile, residents in parts of the Accra West Region are still recovering from an unplanned power outage that struck on Thursday, March 19, 2026, following a fault on a transformer serving their communities.
In a separate notification issued Thursday, the ECG confirmed that the interruption was affecting Nii Boye town, the Mama Zimbi area, Sarpeiman Faase, Sarpeiman, Dunyo, and surrounding localities.
The company assured affected customers that engineers were immediately deployed to the site to rectify the fault and restore supply as swiftly as possible.
An apology was extended to those enduring the disruption, with ECG reiterating its commitment to minimising inconvenience while repairs were underway.
In its public notices, the ECG expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to all affected customers, emphasising that both planned emergency interventions and unplanned fault repairs are necessary to ensure the long-term reliability of the power network across the regions.
The company urged customers experiencing outages to report to the nearest ECG office or reach out via its official communication channels.
