Past power disruptions by the ECG
Before the October outages, July saw significant disruptions in the Volta, Central, Ashanti, Accra, and Tema regions due to maintenance.
On July 15, the Greater Accra, Tema, Ashanti and Volta regions were affected by such operations.
On July 11, maintenance works in parts of the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions also led to planned power cuts.
The Electricity Company of Ghana also managed temporary power outages on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
On that date, the government also warned of some disruptions, noting rehabilitation work by gas supplier ENI.
On October 7, some parts of the country had also suffered power disruptions because of a rainstorm.
ECG proposes increase in Distribution Service Charge
YEN.com.gh also previously reported that the Electricity Company of Ghana had proposed a 225% increase in its Distribution Service Charge.
The Ghanaian power provider had argued in September 2025 that the proposed new increase was necessary to avert a financial collapse.
The proposed new Distribution Service Charge would see the costs increase from GHp19.0384/kWh to GHp61.8028/kWh from 2025 to 2029.
