ECG has urged customers in the affected communities to make necessary arrangements ahead of the temporary supply cuts.

The company stressed that the scheduled interruptions are deliberate, planned interventions rather than a symptom of any broader electricity supply failure.

Ghana's power supply challenges, widely referred to as dumsor, remain a sensitive subject for many households and businesses.

The country endured a severe and prolonged power crisis between 2012 and 2016 that disrupted daily life and economic activity across the country, leaving Ghanaians particularly alert to any signs of a return to those conditions.

ECG's latest announcement adds to a broader series of maintenance exercises it has been carrying out in various parts of the country in recent months.
