In a bid to address the growing electricity demand in and around Tse-Addo, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Sub Transmission Accra, will install a mobile transformer to enhance power supply and improve system reliability.

The mobile transformer, with a capacity of 20/26 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) and operating at a voltage of 33/11 Kilovolt Ampere (KV), will be temporarily stationed at Tse-Addo to support a portion of the load from the La Primary Substation. The unit is set to be transported to the site at 2 am for installation.

This project is funded by ECG.

The communities anticipated to benefit from this upgrade include Tse-Addo, Chain Homes, and the surrounding areas.

The introduction of the mobile substation is expected not only to improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply but also to boost revenue for ECG's operations.

Furthermore, it aims to stimulate socio-economic activities within the affected communities.

It is important to note that the mobile transformer serves as a temporary solution to current challenges and will remain in use until the upgrade of the Transformers at the existing Primary Substation at La
