The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has pleaded with Ghanaians who will be affected by the load shedding scheduled for North-Eastern part of Accra to bear with it as its activities are to ensure a stable supply of power.
ECG, yesterday, released a load shedding timetable for some customers in the North-Eastern part of Accra whose power supply will be affected by work on the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point (BSP).
Public Relations Officer of ECG, William Boateng, in an interview with Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show apologized to all customers who will be affected by this exercise.
“We are still pleading with those affected by this schedule. It is for the good of the country that we are embarking on this exercise. So, we deeply regret this and we ask that they bear with us”, he expressed.
Meanwhile, he has cautioned customers in these areas to take seriously their safety as there will be interruptions in power supply. “If you know your schedule then we advise that you put off all your appliances before you leave home. But we should be more concerned about our safety. Our work is to ensure that we have a stable supply of power. For all you may know the timing of the load shedding may not take long so we plead with them to bear with us”, he added.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has released the power outages timetable for the North-Eastern parts of Greater Accra for the month of May 2021, due to ongoing construction works in the power sector especially at the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point.
According to the ECG, as part of projects to improve power supply reliability and system voltages, the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) in collaboration with the ECG are undertaking interruptions in the power supply to facilitate the work of contractors at various stages and time.
