Residents and businesses in parts of Kaase, Boadi, Appiadu, Kokoben, Donyina, Emina, Georgia, Bomplex and Abattoir will be without power during the period. Several major commercial operations in the area are also affected, including Guinness Ghana Ltd, Fan Milk and Coca-Cola.

Power will be cut each day between 7:30am and 5:00pm for the duration of the three-day window.

The upgrade is part of broader efforts to strengthen Ghana's electricity transmission infrastructure. By doubling the circuit and significantly increasing the line's carrying capacity, the project is intended to improve reliability and reduce pressure on the national grid in the Ashanti Region.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to make necessary arrangements ahead of the outage, particularly those operating businesses or medical equipment dependent on a continuous power supply.
