The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced that the ongoing upgrade of key sub-transmission lines from KNUST Primary Substation to Kaase Primary Substation, and from Kaase to Ridge Bulk Supply Point in Kumasi, is expected to be completed by 5 June 2026.
The project involves upgrading existing 265 sqmm conductors to 400 sqmm conductors and replacement of weak cables to enhance power transfer capacity and improve the reliability and stability of electricity supply across the Greater Kumasi area.
A press release issued by the ECG said, “Upon completion, the project is expected to improve power supply reliability, voltage quality, and strengthen electricity supply to Kaase, Kuntenase, Sewua, Bekwai, and surrounding communities.
It added that “The project will also reinforce the sub-transmission link between the Kumasi 1 (K1) and Kumasi 2 (K2) Bulk Supply Points, improving overall network resilience within the Ashanti Region.”
The ECG apologised for any inconvenience caused to customers and residents during the execution of the project and assured the public that these temporary challenges are necessary for the greater good of strengthening and securing a more reliable electricity supply for the region.
