The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has successfully restored power to Adidome and its neighboring areas by sourcing electricity from Juapong communities.

This action was taken due to the consequences of the Akosombo Dam spillage.

However, six communities, including Mafi Tsrawla, remain unconnected due to heavy rainfall, which caused extensive damage to buildings and electricity poles.

ECG's Volta Regional Public Relations Officer, Mr. Benjamin Obeng Antwi, explained that the team is assessing the damage and will restore power to the affected areas once the evaluation is complete.

Mr. Antwi mentioned that ECG continues to supply electricity to the remaining towns from the Aflao Bulk Supply Point (BSP). He also noted that ECG is anticipating increased activity in the affected areas over the weekend and is in communication with GRIDCO to enhance capacity, which has been assured.

Despite some issues of low voltage during peak hours, the voltage profile has returned to normal, allowing fuel stations, hospitals, car washes, and other heavy equipment facilities to operate efficiently.

Mr. Antwi urged customers to adhere to necessary safety protocols before using their electrical appliances. He also pointed out that the water level at the Sogakope Bulk Supply Point is rising. Consequently, the company temporarily shut down its station in Sogakope to safeguard it from flooding, which occurred due to the dam spillage. Power has been restored in most affected areas, except for Sogakope.
