The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Ghana Grid Company have scheduled a series of planned and emergency maintenance works across parts of the Volta and Ashanti regions today, Friday, May 22, 2026, leading to temporary power outages in several communities.
According to the utilities, the exercise aimed at upgrading critical infrastructure and strengthening the national power network will begin at 9:00 a.m., with outage durations varying depending on the scope of work in each location.
In the Volta Region, two separate planned maintenance operations have been outlined. The first, running from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., will affect Kpataxoe, Tsita, Tongor, Atoklokpo, Dzakiti, Tsanakpe, Fantikope, Agordeke, and Dzemeni, along with surrounding communities.
A second exercise in the region, scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., will impact Bowiri, Apenkwa, Bodada, Jasikan, and nearby areas.
Meanwhile, in the Ashanti Region, GRIDCo will undertake emergency maintenance at the Asawinso Bulk Supply Point from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The exercise is expected to affect a wide stretch of communities, including Chirano, Nambro, Subri, Anwiaso, Akyease, Kwamekrom, Bibiani, Tanodumase, Nyinahin, Ntobroso, and others.
