Areas to experience dumsor on May 7
According to ECG, Breman, parts of Kronum, Kronum Kwapra, Afrancho, Sasa, Buoho and adjoining areas will experience a power outage from 9:00am to 3:00pm on Thursday.
The latest update replaces an earlier notice which had indicated different affected areas, including Asokwa, Sikaman and Adansi Praso, with a longer outage period of 9:00am to 4:00pm.
Residents and businesses in these locations are therefore expected to face a disruption in power supply during the stated period.
The utility provider said the maintenance works form part of broader efforts to improve the reliability and quality of power supply across the Ashanti Region.
ECG also expressed regret over the inconvenience, stating: “ECG regrets the inconvenience that will arise out of this exercise.”
