In a bold move to modernize operations and enhance system reliability, the Ashanti Sub-Transmission team has launched a real-time data collection platform across its five Bulk Supply Points (BSPs)—Anwomaso, Ridge, Konongo, Obuasi, and Dunkwa.
As part of this initiative, each BSP has been equipped with a dedicated tablet device, enabling hourly data capture and instant transmission to the System Controller.
This live stream of accurate data allows for real-time summation, analysis, and faster decision-making, empowering system operators to respond swiftly to demand fluctuations, potential faults, or irregularities in the network.
This new digital system marks a major upgrade from the previous manual method, which was often prone to human errors, delays, and inconsistencies.
By moving to a streamlined digital process, the Ashanti team is reducing operational risk and improving the overall quality of insights derived from field data.
“The transition to real-time reporting has not only increased our operational efficiency but also allowed us to spot trends and act faster. It’s a game-changer for system reliability in the region,” noted Ing. Andrews Owusu Peprah, Operations Manager, Ashanti Sub-Transmission.
The benefits of this initiative are enormous: Improved data accuracy and consistency, Enhanced system monitoring and fault detection, Faster, data-driven decision-making and Increased accountability and transparency.
This forward-thinking approach supports ECG’s broader mission of delivering stable, efficient, and customer-focused power distribution—with Ashanti Sub-Transmission setting the pace for innovation in regional grid management.
The General Manager for Ashanti Sub-Transmission, Ing Peter Kofi Fletcher, assured customers of their determination to improve on quality of service.
“This forward-thinking approach supports ECG’s broader mission of delivering stable, efficient, and customer-focused power distribution for an innovative regional grid management,” he stated.
