The power cut will affect Ga Odumase and surrounding areas, per updates from ECG on Facebook.
The power distributor also noted that there was a power outage in Tema due to a fault in its network on August 5. This power cut affected the Prampram township among others.
In an earlier notice, ECG noted that parts of the Central Region will also suffer power cuts today. Areas to be affected included Saltpond, Ankaful and Millennium City.
Earlier, ECG also announced a temporary load management exercise in the Volta and Oti Regions following a technical fault on a transformer at the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) Asiekpe Bulk Supply Point (BSP).
ECG apologises to affected customers
In its notice, the power distributor acknowledged the disruption the exercise would cause to residents and businesses in the listed areas.
It also assured that its engineers were working to rectify the situation.
ECG regularly carries out scheduled maintenance across its network in a bid to reduce faults and improve reliability, though such exercises often draw attention given the broader challenges surrounding power supply in Ghana.
Mahama's response to power cut concerns
Amid power cuts earlier in 2026, YEN.com.gh reported that President John Mahama downplayed concerns that there was a renewed power crisis.
He assured that power supply would be more stable as the government intensifies efforts to improve electricity delivery.
Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr John Jinapor, also assured consumers of a steady power supply when he spoke on the matter in May.
