The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a three-day power outage in parts of Kumasi, starting on November 16. The disruption will affect the Kaase, Boadi, and Abattoir areas. The outage is scheduled from 7:30am to 5pm daily.
The planned power cuts are part of GRIDCo’s upgrade work on the Anwomaso–Ridge transmission lines. The maintenance is expected to improve the reliability of the power grid in the region. No alternative power sources have been provided for affected areas.
Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti region, has experienced periodic power shortages in recent months. The city’s electricity supply has been inconsistent due to infrastructure challenges and maintenance delays. This outage follows similar disruptions in October, which caused inconvenience to residents and businesses. The ECG has urged customers to use alternative lighting and to avoid overloading electrical systems during the outage.
