According to a report by Graphiconline, the maintenance activities are expected to begin at 9:00 am on Monday and will last for approximately eight hours, ending at 5:00 pm.
Customers in the affected areas are therefore expected to experience temporary power interruptions within the stated period.
Areas to be affected in Accra East Region
In the Accra East Region, the maintenance exercise will impact several communities, including Katamanso, ECG Quarters, Regimanuel Estate, Bayere Junction, Dzorwulu Railway, Dzorwulu UBA, and adjoining neighbourhoods.
Residents in these areas have been advised to make necessary arrangements ahead of the scheduled outage.
Areas to be affected in Accra West Region
In the Accra West Region, the planned outage will affect Odawna, Upper Weija, Old Weija, Oblogo, Top Base, Agape, C.P., Maame Nkran, Ablekuma, Winners Chapel, Pentecost Junction, Agbaadzena, Fanmilk, and surrounding communities.
The company notes that the exercise is part of routine maintenance works to enhance service delivery.
Weekend faults in Tema and Accra West regions
The scheduled maintenance comes in the wake of recent network faults that disrupted power supply over the weekend in parts of Tema and Accra West.
On Sunday, May 24, 2026, a technical fault in the Tema network left areas such as Dawhenya and Abbeykope without electricity for several hours, prompting swift intervention by engineers.
In a separate incident, another network challenge in Accra West affected communities including Mamprobi, Camara, Agbogbloshie, and Timber Market.
ECG apologises and assures restoration efforts
The Electricity Company of Ghana has expressed regret over the inconvenience caused by both the planned maintenance and the unexpected outages.
It further assured the public that technical teams are working continuously to restore stability and improve the resilience of the power supply system across affected regions.
