ECG in a notice served on Thursday, May 20, explained that the outages which will take place from May 27 to June 11 2021 is to allow for reconstruction works on a section of GRIDCo’s transmission lines along the Winneba to Mallam stretch. Owing to this, the power distribution company said the power outages will take place in some three specific groups of communities within Greater Accra and will begin from 6:00 pm and end at 12:00 midnight. This exercise will lead to a shortfall in the transmission of power to Accra during the peak load hours,” the Electricity Company of Ghana said in a statement. The ECG however said the intermittent power outages will be experienced each day by one group until the reconstruction exercise is complete. Some areas that will be affected include Dansoman, Teshie, Westland, North Kaneshie among others.
