Power outages in Ghana
Despite a directive by the president, Nana Akufo-Addo for Ghanaians to be supplied with power without interruptions, some people complain about intermittent outages in their respective areas.
Last week, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) served notice that there will be power outages in parts of Accra beginning Friday, May 8, 2020.
It said the outages was to enable the company to convey some transformers from the Tema Port to its Pokuase Bulk Supply Point (BSP) construction site.
The power outages which will last between 10 pm and 1 am daily is expected to end on Thursday, May 14, 2020.
Some of the affected areas include Tema, Klagon, Spintex, Trasacco, Dzorwulu, Achimota, and Ofankor.
