The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced power outages affecting over 25 areas communities in the Accra East and West regions.

Among the affected areas are Ghana Steel, Palace Mall, Furniture Citi, Lovely Transport, Kpone Barrier, Kingdom Transport, GPHA Terminal (Kpone), Sethi Realty, Abodakpi Farms, and Kpone Dump Site.

Additionally, areas such as Bediako, Golf City, and surrounding regions, including Kwabenya, Agbogba, Maryera, part of Teiman, Ayi Mensah, Katapor, Top Herbal, Bohye, Abloradjei, Pure Water, Pokuase Township, Fountain Gate, are experiencing power disruptions.

In a statement issued on Thursday, ECG apologized to its customers in both regions, attributing the outages to a shortfall in power supply by the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) to their Pokuase Bulk Supply Point and the Smelter 2 Bulk Supply Point.

The timeline for restoring power to these areas remains unclear, causing dissatisfaction among many ECG customers who seek a timetable for planning.

The absence of a clear timetable has sparked anger among Ghanaians, especially after Minister for Energy, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, stated that there's no 'dumsor' (power outages) and hence no need for a timetable.

Despite the worsening situation, neither GRIDCo nor ECG has provided explanations to the public, a move criticized by many stakeholders.

According to a compilation by Citi News, the number of affected areas or communities in the past week in these two regions exceeds a hundred.
