The Electricity Company of Ghana has scheduled a planned maintenance exercise in the Central Region for Friday, March 13, 2026, with engineers set to undertake infrastructure upgrades that will temporarily disrupt power supply to several communities.
According to an advisory issued by the power distributor earlier this week, the exercise forms part of ongoing efforts to enhance service reliability and strengthen the stability of the national grid. The outage will commence at 9:00 am and is expected to last until 3:00 pm, affecting a cluster of localities including Koful, Kwaprow, Nkanfua, Edukrom, and Ataabadzi Junction, along with their surrounding areas.
Residents and businesses in these communities have been advised to plan accordingly for the six-hour disruption as technicians carry out essential works aimed at improving supply quality in the region.
In a separate development, the ECG's Accra West Region has issued an emergency notification concerning an unplanned power outage currently being experienced in parts of Gbawe. According to a statement released Thursday, the interruption is the result of a fault on a transformer serving the area. Communities affected by the technical fault include Gbawe Cee Connie, Policeman, Gbawe Gravel Junction, and their surrounding neighbourhoods.
The company has assured affected customers that engineers are working diligently to rectify the fault and restore normal supply as swiftly as possible. An apology has been extended to all customers enduring the disruption, with ECG reiterating its commitment to minimising inconvenience while repairs are underway.
In its public notices, the ECG expressed regret for any inconvenience caused to affected customers, emphasising that both planned and emergency interventions are necessary to ensure the long-term reliability of the power network across the regions.
