The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has released the much-anticipated timetable for power outages in Accra as part of projects to “improve power supply reliabilities and system voltages.”
In this regard, the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point (BSP) which nears completion will require a tie-in to GRIDCO’s 330kv transmission line.
“This exercise will require a complete shutdown of the 330kv line thereby affecting power reliability to the main Mallam BSP,” ECG stated in it’s statement.
The tie-in works will take eight days, from Monday, May 10 to Monday, May 17, 2021, and will affect power supply to the North-Eastern parts of Accra.
