The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a planned power outage in parts of the Ashanti Region on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, 2026.
The scheduled interruption will allow the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) to continue upgrading the Anwomaso to Ridge Bulk Supply Point transmission line.
According to ECG, the exercise forms part of ongoing efforts to improve electricity supply in the Ashanti Region.
Areas to Be Affected
The planned power outage will affect the following communities:
- Naachiaa
- Sawuah
- Kotei
- Nahinso
- Deduako
- Kodiekrom
- Twumduase
- Kuwait and surrounding areas.
Residents and businesses in these communities should expect temporary interruptions in electricity supply during the scheduled maintenance period.
Outage Schedule
ECG has indicated that the exercise will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on each of the two days.
The upgrade involves replacing the existing 364MVA single-circuit transmission line with a modern double-circuit line rated at 2 × 488MVA, giving it a combined capacity of 976MVA.
The improved transmission infrastructure is expected to strengthen electricity transmission capacity and support a more reliable power supply.
ECG Appeals for Public Understanding
ECG has apologised for the inconvenience the planned outage may cause customers and residents in the affected communities.
Residents, shop owners and businesses are advised to make the necessary arrangements ahead of the scheduled interruption, particularly those who depend on electricity for their daily operations.
The company says the project is part of broader efforts to improve power supply in the Ashanti Region.
