The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced the successful completion of Phase Two of the Government’s Transformer Replacement and Upgrade Programme at the Lashibi Primary Substation, ahead of schedule.
A statement issued by the Acting Director of Communications, Dr Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiky said although the project was originally expected to be completed tomorrow, Friday, 17th April, 2026, ECG’s technical teams worked tirelessly around the clock to complete the installation and testing of the new equipment ahead of time.
“Consequently, power supply to the affected areas has been fully restored earlier than expected,”Dr Ayiku wrote.
Following this achievement, ECG would like to provide an update on the next phase of its efforts to strengthen the power network:
The location and schedule for the next power transformer upgrade are currently being finalized, and a formal announcement will be made through ECG’s official communication channels in the coming days.
As part of the Government’s broader agenda to strengthen the national power system, ECG will soon begin an expanded programme to replace aging distribution transformers in affected communities.
These projects are aimed at reducing system overloads, minimizing frequent outages, and ensuring a more stable and reliable power supply for customers.
ECG expressed its sincere appreciation to the residents of Lashibi and surrounding communities for their patience, cooperation, and understanding during the brief planned outages.
“Their support made it possible for ECG teams to carry out these important works safely and efficiently. ECG remains committed to delivering improved and reliable electricity services to support Ghana’s development,” Dr Ayiku assured.
