The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has scheduled a extensive network of maintenance exercises across six operational regions for Wednesday, March 11, 2026, with technicians poised to undertake infrastructure upgrades that will temporarily disrupt power supply to scores of communities from the Western enclave to the Eastern corridor.

According to a series of advisories issued by the power distributor over the past several days, the coordinated works are aimed at enhancing service reliability and reinforcing the stability of the national grid. The outages will commence at 9:00 am across all affected areas, though the duration of interruptions will vary by region and location depending on the specific scope of engineering works to be executed.

In the Eastern Region, engineers will be operating between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, with the maintenance focused on Kwabeng Township and its surrounding localities. Residents in this area have been advised to make the necessary arrangements for the six-hour disruption.

The Accra East Region is slated for a full-day exercise running from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, impacting a cluster of communities including Asiedu Nketia, Gravel Pit, Lakeside Estate Community 15, New Legon, the UPSA Hostel, Trinity, and Mempeasem, along with their adjoining areas. The university community and residential estates in this corridor are expected to be affected as technicians carry out essential upgrades.

Similarly, the Accra West Region will experience an eight-hour outage during the same timeframe, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The affected areas span a broad geographical sweep encompassing Mandela, SCC, Sunny Coast, Korkordjor, Kinshasha, Doblo, Hebron, Medie, Sapeiman, Satellite, Opah, Nsakina, Ga-Odumase, Peace Village, Ghana Water, Cannary, and Adoagyiri Zongo, together with their surrounding neighbourhoods.

In the Tema Region, the maintenance window is set for six hours, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, with the outage affecting Lashibi, Community 19 Annex, Klagon, Old Ningo, and New Ningo, as well as surrounding communities. Residents in these fast-growing residential and peri-urban areas have been urged to plan accordingly.

The Western Region, however, accounts for the most extensive list of affected communities, with two separate maintenance exercises scheduled concurrently. The first operation, running from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, will impact a wide stretch of towns including Abotareye, Hiawa, Nkakaa, Manso Amenfi, Akyekyere, Bonuama, Suroso, Asankragwa, Mota, Kwesi Bokoro, Aboi Nkwata, Dunkwa, Enhie, Samreboi, M-T-N, Moseaso, Asakra Breman, Odumasi, Kwabeng, Asankra Saa, Agona Amenfi, Jedua Kesse, Agona Camp, and Dominasi, along with surrounding areas.

A second, shorter exercise in the Western Region is scheduled from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, affecting an equally lengthy roster of communities. These include Kokorom, Ahenkofikrom, the Naval Base, Adiembra, Kweikuma, Bakaekyir, Essaman, Nkontonpo, Effiakuma, Sekondi Prisons, Diabene, Nkroful, Kansaworodu, Ntankorful, Anaji, BU, Fijai, Tanokrom, TTU, New Site, Tadisco, Bankyease, IAdu, Kwesimintsim, Airport Ridge, Kokompe, New Amanful, Apowa, Kejebir, Mphohor, Dominase, Benso, Adum Banso, Whindo, Assakae, Beposo, Seko, and Shama, together with their surrounding localities.

In its public notices, the ECG extended its apologies to all affected customers, acknowledging the inconvenience that such technical interventions inevitably bring to domestic, commercial, and institutional activities. The company, however, reassured the public that the exercises are necessary to ensure the long-term robustness of the power network and to ultimately deliver improved service to consumers across the regions.
