See the areas that will be affected by ECG's planned maintenance on Wednesday, April 22, 2026
The Electricity Company of Ghana has scheduled planned and emergency maintenance exercises across four regions for Wednesday, April 22, 2026, even as engineers continue to battle faulty underground cables and burnt high-tension poles that plunged several communities into darkness on Tuesday.
According to advisories issued by the power distributor, the coordinated works are aimed at enhancing service reliability and addressing urgent network issues. The outages will commence at varying times across affected areas, with durations depending on the scope of works to be carried out at each location.
In the Accra West Region, a planned maintenance exercise will run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, affecting Amasaman, Plywood, Bubuashie E.P. Church, and surrounding areas. The eight-hour outage will impact these residential and commercial zones.
In the Western Region, a planned maintenance operation will run from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, affecting Achantaman, parts of West Tanokrom, and surrounding areas.
In the Central Region, a planned maintenance exercise will run from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, affecting Tuba township, Mama Africa, Lamgba, and surrounding areas.
An emergency maintenance operation will run from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, affecting a sweeping list of communities including Abotareye, Hiawa, Nkakaa, Manso Amenfi, Akyekyere, Bonuama, Suroso, Asankragwa, Mota, Kwesi Bokoro, Aboi Nkwata, Dunkwa, Enhie, M-T-N, Samreboi, Moseaso, Asakra Breman, Odumasi, and surrounding areas.
These scheduled interventions come as the ECG continues to manage the aftermath of multiple network faults that struck on Tuesday, 21st April 2026. In the Accra East Region, a faulty underground high-tension cable at Agbogba disrupted power to Ashongman Estate, Ashongman Atakora Estate, Ashongman Aggies Spot, and surrounding areas.
In the Volta Region, a burnt high-tension pole on the Agortoe T-off affected Hadota, Adzato, Vorvonukope, Sokutime, Aflato, Sodzi, Kpordui, and surrounding areas.
In its public notices, the ECG extended its apologies to all affected customers, acknowledging the inconvenience caused by both the scheduled maintenance and the unplanned network faults. The company reassured the public that engineers are working diligently to resolve all network issues while emphasising that the planned exercises are necessary to ensure the long-term robustness of the power network across the regions.
