The Electricity Company of Ghana has scheduled a combination of emergency and planned maintenance exercises across three operational regions for Monday, March 16, 2026, with engineers set to undertake critical infrastructure upgrades that will temporarily disrupt power supply to multiple communities in the Greater Accra and Central enclaves.
According to advisories issued by the power distributor over the weekend, the exercises are aimed at addressing urgent network issues while also advancing broader efforts to enhance service reliability.
The outages will commence at 9:00 am across all affected areas, though the duration of interruptions will vary by region depending on the scope of works to be carried out.
In the Accra West Region, an emergency maintenance operation has been declared, requiring an eight-hour outage from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The affected communities include Akweteman, Doblo, Hebron, Medie, Sarpeiman, and Satellite, along with their surrounding areas. The ECG has indicated that these urgent works are necessary to rectify emerging faults and prevent further deterioration of service quality in that corridor.
Similarly, the Accra East Region will also experience an emergency maintenance exercise during the same timeframe, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The outage will impact Dome Pillar 2, Dome K Boat, Dome Ohene Down, No Visa, the Tseaddo Goil Fuel Station, and Tseaddo Royal Mart, together with their adjoining neighbourhoods. Residents and businesses in these densely populated suburbs have been advised to plan accordingly for the full-day disruption.
In the Central Region, a planned maintenance exercise is scheduled to run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, affecting the communities of Kuntu, Pebi, and Hinii, along with their surrounding areas. Technicians will be undertaking routine upgrades aimed at improving supply quality for residents in these localities.
In its public notices, the ECG extended its apologies to all affected customers, acknowledging the inconvenience that such technical interventions inevitably cause to both domestic and commercial activities.
The company, however, reassured the public that both the emergency and planned exercises are necessary to ensure the long-term robustness of the power network and to ultimately deliver improved service to consumers across the regions.
