Sunday began with widespread disruption across Ghana as residents experienced sudden and unexpected power cuts. From Accra to Kumasi, households and businesses alike were plunged into darkness, impacting daily routines and commercial activities. The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has since issued a statement attributing these power cuts Ghana is currently facing to a heavy rainstorm that swept through the country.

According to the official release, the intensity of the downpour caused significant damage to critical infrastructure, leading to the widespread outages. ECG engineers are currently working to address the issues and restore power to affected areas. This blog post will provide the latest updates on the situation, ECG’s response, and how affected residents can report issues.

ECG Responds to Sunday’s Power Outages

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has acknowledged the widespread power cuts experienced on Sunday and attributed them to a severe rainstorm. The company has issued an official statement outlining the cause of the outages and the measures being taken to restore power.

“ECG wishes to inform its cherished customers that the outages experienced in some parts of the country were due to a heavy rainstorm. Our engineers are working assiduously to restore power supply to the affected areas,” stated an ECG official.

ECG is urging the public to report all cases of power cuts to facilitate a quicker response. Affected residents can reach out through the following channels:

  • Call Center: 0302-611611
  • Nearest ECG office
  • Social media handles: @ECGghOfficial (Facebook, X, Instagram)

The Impact of the Rainstorm

The heavy rainstorm caused widespread flooding and destruction, significantly impacting ECG’s infrastructure. Major installations were affected, disrupting the delivery of power to consumers across the region.

In addition to the damage to power infrastructure, the rainstorm caused severe traffic disruptions, particularly along the Pokuase–Amasaman road. Areas such as the Ofankor Barrier and Mile 7 roundabout experienced significant gridlock, with many commuters abandoning their vehicles due to the heavy flooding.

What to Do During a Power Cut

During a power cut, it’s essential to take precautions to ensure safety and minimize potential damage to appliances. Here are a few safety tips to follow:

  • Unplug sensitive electronics to prevent damage from surges when power is restored.
  • Use flashlights instead of candles to avoid fire hazards.
  • Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to preserve food.

Stay informed about the situation by monitoring ECG’s social media channels and local news outlets for updates on restoration efforts.

In summary, the power cuts Ghana experienced were a result of a heavy rainstorm that damaged critical infrastructure. ECG is actively working to restore power, and residents are encouraged to report any outages. Stay informed and follow safety guidelines during this period. Further updates on Power Cuts Ghana will be provided as they become available. Share this information with others who may be affected.
