Accra ‘dumsor’ due to flooding of substations – ECG
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has identified the cause of the widespread power outages affecting parts of Accra following heavy rains on Wednesday, 1 May, 2024.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, 2 May 2024, ECG attributed the outages to the flooding of seven substations in the region.
According to ECG, substations including Burma Camp L, Station H - Dzorwulu, Gbawe, and four others were inundated during the intense downpour, disrupting electricity supply to several areas.
“ECG and the Ghana Fire Service are working together to drain all flooded primary substations to ensure a swift restoration of power supply,” the statement revealed.
It also assured its cherished customers and all stakeholders of its “commitment to ensuring a stable power supply”, while apologising “unreservedly” for the effect of the outage on our daily lives.
