The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has temporarily closed the Sogakope Bulk Supply Point in the Volta Region.

This action, as announced in a release on Wednesday, was primarily due to safety concerns arising from the flooding of the Sogakope Bulk Supply Point, which was caused by the spillage from the Akosombo Dam.

The affected areas encompass Sogakope, Akatsi, Adidome, Anloga, Abor, Keta, and the surrounding regions.

The statement further indicated that a team of engineers from both the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) and ECG is on standby, ready to restore power supply to the affected areas as soon as the floodwaters recede.

The inconvenience caused by this shutdown is deeply regretted,” it added.
