The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has revealed that its engineers are fixing blackouts caused by heavy rains today.
A downpour on Sunday afternoon caused massive flooding and destruction in various parts of the country, affecting some major ECG installations that deliver power to consumers.
However, the power distribution company has swiftly responded and informed the public about measures to restore electricity.
In a brief notice, ECG apologised for the development and called on the public to report all cases associated with the power cuts for immediate attention.
“Individual/localised outages and incidents of fallen poles, or sagging conductors within customers’ vicinities should be reported to the ECG Call Center on 0302-611611, the nearest ECG office, or reach us on our social media handles via @ECGghOfficial on Facebook, X, or Instagram for prompt intervention,” the release indicated.
In a related development, floods along the Pokuase–Amasaman road have left hundreds of commuters stranded in traffic for hours.
The rain, which started at about 3 pm, has also affected the main roads along the Ofankor Barrier and the Mile 7 roundabout, making it impossible for vehicles to move in either direction.
The gridlock stretched from St John’s Hospital to Ofankor and beyond, with some drivers abandoning their vehicles altogether.
