Tema: Fire destroys ECG cables on new year’s eve

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has explained that a temporary power outage experienced in some parts of Tema in the Greater Accra Region on New Year’s eve was a result of a fire outbreak which has destroyed some major power cables in the area.

The fire, which was reportedly seen behind the Lube Oil Company in Tema around 5pm on Tuesday, has ravaged the cables.

This caused the temporary power cut in areas such as Adjetey Ansah, the Naval Quarters, Aunty Kate, Leonardo, and Bankuman.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
