ECG Announces 8-Hour Power Cuts In Parts Of Ghana From October 11 To 16

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced scheduled power interruptions in selected communities across Accra and Tema from Sunday, October 11, to Friday, October 16, 2026, as engineers undertake maintenance work on the electricity distribution network.

The planned outages are expected to affect parts of Accra East and several communities in Tema. ECG says the exercise is intended to improve the reliability of electricity supply and strengthen the distribution system over the long term.

According to the utility company, the interruptions will follow different schedules depending on the location. This means communities will not necessarily experience power cuts throughout all six days of the maintenance period.

Some affected areas are expected to experience outages lasting up to eight hours, making it important for households, shops, offices and other businesses to prepare for temporary disruptions.

ECG has provided a breakdown of the communities expected to be affected, alongside the scheduled times for the interruptions. However, the information supplied in the available report does not include the actual community-by-community list or the specific outage times. Customers should therefore check ECG’s official announcements for confirmation of the schedule applicable to their areas.

The maintenance exercise comes as electricity remains essential to daily activities, including household chores, commercial operations, food storage and the use of electronic equipment. Businesses that rely heavily on power may need to make alternative arrangements to minimise disruption during their scheduled outage.

ECG has apologised to customers for the inconvenience associated with the planned work, while emphasising the importance of maintaining the electricity distribution network.

Scheduled maintenance allows engineers to carry out necessary work on network infrastructure, with the aim of supporting more dependable service. However, the immediate effect for customers in the affected communities will be a temporary interruption to their electricity supply.

Residents and business owners have been encouraged to rely on verified information from ECG’s official communication channels rather than assuming that their communities will be affected without confirmation.

Customers in Accra East and Tema are advised to check the published schedules carefully, particularly if they need electricity for essential business activities or household needs.

The six-day exercise will cover different locations at different times, so customers should confirm their specific outage window before making preparations.
