The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is set to embark on a crucial preventive maintenance drive across the Ashanti Region this June, reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and uninterrupted power supply.
Spearheaded by ECG’s Ashanti Sub-Transmission team, the project targets key primary substations that serve thousands of residential, commercial, and industrial customers. By taking a proactive approach, ECG aims to reduce outages, lower operational costs, and fortify supply reliability.
Ing. Edem Agra, Manager of Substations and Switchgear Maintenance, touched on the significance of the scheduled works:
“This forms part of our Annual Maintenance Plan, which prioritizes proactive system care over reactive interventions. Our goal is to ensure long-term asset health, minimize system downtime, and ultimately give our customers the consistent power supply they deserve,” he said.
To achieve this, ECG technicians will upgrade and clean critical switchgear and transformers at the following substations:
– Kaase Main D– Thursday, June 12, 2025
– KTI Main G – Thursday, June 19, 2025
– Fawoade Main W – Thursday, June 26, 2025
”Residents in these areas should stay informed about the scheduled works and anticipate brief outages as engineers complete maintenance tasks,”he stated.
Emphasizing ECG’s dedication to customer satisfaction and long-term reliability, Ing. Peter K. Fletcher, General Manager for Ashanti Sub-Transmission, highlighted the broader impact of the initiative:
“This is more than wires and transformers. It’s a promise to our customers—to prevent outages before they happen, reduce system strain, and ensure a more robust power network that supports homes, industries, and businesses alike,” he assured.
With this initiative, ECG continues to invest in a resilient, future-ready energy grid to meet growing demand while minimizing disruptions.
”We maintain it today to prevent the outage tomorrow. We Ensure long-term asset health and reliable service for every customer.” Mr Fletcher said
Head of Public Relations, Ashanti Sub- Transmission, Collins Manu, assured customers of quality service.
