The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has planned an extensive series of maintenance activities across six operational regions for today, Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
Technicians are prepared to carry out infrastructure upgrades that will temporarily interrupt power supply to numerous communities, ranging from the Western enclave to the Eastern corridor.
As per a series of advisories released by the power distributor in recent days, these coordinated efforts are intended to improve service reliability and strengthen the stability of the national grid.
The outages will begin at 9:00 am in all affected areas, although the length of the interruptions will differ by region and location, depending on the specific scope of engineering tasks to be performed.
In the Eastern Region, engineers will be active from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, focusing maintenance efforts on Kwabeng Township and its neighbouring localities. Residents in this area have been urged to make the necessary arrangements for the six-hour disruption.
The Accra East Region is scheduled for a full-day operation from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, affecting a group of communities including Asiedu Nketia, Gravel Pit, Lakeside Estate Community 15, New Legon, the UPSA Hostel, Trinity, and Mempeasem, along with their adjacent areas. The university community and residential estates in this corridor are anticipated to be impacted as technicians perform essential upgrades.
Likewise, the Accra West Region will undergo an eight-hour outage during the same period, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The areas affected cover a wide geographical range, including Mandela, SCC, Sunny Coast, Korkordjor, Kinshasha, Doblo, Hebron, Medie, Sapeiman, Satellite, Opah, Nsakina, Ga-Odumase, Peace Village, Ghana Water, Cannary, and Adoagyiri Zongo, along with their surrounding neighbourhoods.
In the Tema Region, the maintenance period is designated for six hours, spanning from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. This outage will impact Lashibi, Community 19 Annex, Klagon, Old Ningo, and New Ningo, along with adjacent communities. Residents in these rapidly developing residential and peri-urban areas have been advised to make appropriate plans.
Conversely, the Western Region has the most extensive list of affected communities, with two separate maintenance activities scheduled to occur simultaneously.
The first operation, taking place from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, will affect a broad range of towns, including Abotareye, Hiawa, Nkakaa, Manso Amenfi, Akyekyere, Bonuama, Suroso, Asankragwa, Mota, Kwesi Bokoro, Aboi Nkwata, Dunkwa, Enhie, Samreboi, M-T-N, Moseaso, Asakra Breman, Odumasi, Kwabeng, Asankra Saa, Agona Amenfi, Jedua Kesse, Agona Camp, and Dominasi, as well as surrounding areas.
A second, shorter maintenance exercise in the Western Region is planned from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, impacting an equally extensive list of communities.
These include Kokorom, Ahenkofikrom, the Naval Base, Adiembra, Kweikuma, Bakaekyir, Essaman, Nkontonpo, Effiakuma, Sekondi Prisons, Diabene, Nkroful, Kansaworodu, Ntankorful, Anaji, BU, Fijai, Tanokrom, TTU, New Site, Tadisco, Bankyease, IAdu, Kwesimintsim, Airport Ridge, Kokompe, New Amanful, Apowa, Kejebir, Mphohor, Dominase, Benso, Adum Banso, Whindo, Assakae, Beposo, Seko, and Shama, along with their neighbouring localities.
In its public announcements, the ECG expressed its apologies to all customers affected, recognising the disruption that such technical interventions inevitably cause to domestic, commercial, and institutional operations.
The company reassured the public that these exercises are essential to ensure the long-term strength of the power network and to ultimately provide enhanced service to consumers throughout the regions.
