We’re working on power cuts caused by downpour – ECG

The Electricity Company of Ghana has assured that its engineers “are working assiduously to rectify the faults and restore power supply to the affected customers.”

The assurance comes after some areas in Accra started experiencing power cuts following the downpour on Tuesday morning.

The Electricity Company of Ghana confirmed that the storm “has caused outages within the distribution network.”

“Customers experiencing outages within their individual premises should kindly contact our call centre or report to the nearest ECG office,” it added in the statement.
