ECG distances outages from dumsor

ECG has urged customers in the affected communities to make necessary arrangements ahead of the temporary supply cuts.

The company stressed that the scheduled interruptions are deliberate, planned interventions rather than a symptom of any broader electricity supply failure.

Ghana's power supply challenges, widely referred to as dumsor, remain a sensitive subject for many households and businesses.
