Accra: The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is working in conjunction with the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) to restore power supply to several areas affected by recent disruptions in the Greater Accra Region. The collaboration aims to address the outages caused by a heavy rainstorm that struck the region, leading to significant flooding and power supply issues.
According to Ghana News Agency, the ECG reported that the rainstorm, which occurred on Sunday, 18th May, resulted in widespread flooding that necessitated the isolation of certain areas from the power grid. This precaution was taken following a request from NADMO to ensure safety in flood-affected zones such as Borteyman Stadium, Affordable Housing, Borteyman Township, Little Roses, Lakeside, Nanakrom, Kissieman, Dome Pillar 2, and Christian Village.
Several other areas were also impacted by the flooding and subsequent power outages. These include School Junction, School Junction Melcom, Nmaidzor Zoomlion, University Farms, Trasacco 3rd gate, Legon Hill, Santoe, Blue Kiosk, Adenta ECG office, and Madina Islamic University. The ECG's statement emphasized their ongoing collaboration with NADMO to follow directives for safely restoring power to these areas.
The ECG has urged residents experiencing individual or localized outages, as well as those encountering issues such as fallen poles or sagging conductors, to report these incidents. Customers are encouraged to contact the ECG Call Center at 0302-611611, visit the nearest ECG office, or reach out through the company's social media handles @ECGghOfficial on platforms like Facebook, X, or Instagram for swift responses and remediation.
