ECG shut down substations over flooding

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that torrential rainfall across the Greater Accra Region had led to an emergency shutdown of electricity supply from key distribution hubs.

GRIDCo and ECG said the precautionary measure was taken after flooding compromised critical power infrastructure and posed safety risks.

Technical teams were sent to assess the extent of the damage as efforts continue to restore supply once conditions stabilize.
