The Electricity Company of Ghana has scheduled planned maintenance exercises in the Accra East and Accra West Regions for Monday, May 25, 2026, even as engineers continue to battle network faults and technical challenges that plunged several communities in the Tema and Accra West Regions into darkness over the weekend.

In the Accra East Region, the planned maintenance will affect parts of Katamanso, ECG Quarters, Regimanuel Estate, Bayere Junction, Dzorwulu Railway, Dzorwulu UBA, and surrounding areas.

The scheduled interventions come as the company continues to manage the aftermath of multiple network faults that struck over the weekend.

On Sunday, May 24, 2026, a fault in the ECG’s network in the Tema Region disrupted power supply to Dawhenya, Abbeykope, and surrounding communities.

The company said engineers were deployed to rectify the fault and restore electricity supply to affected customers.

In the Accra West Region, a separate technical challenge in the network on Sunday affected Mamprobi, Camara, Agbogbloshie, Timber Market, and surrounding areas.

“We are working diligently to resolve the challenges and restore power supply as quickly as possible,” the ECG assured customers.

The company further apologised to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused by both the scheduled maintenance and the unplanned faults, while assuring the public that engineers are working tirelessly to resolve all network issues.

ECG also emphasised that the planned maintenance exercises are necessary to ensure the long-term robustness and stability of the power network across the affected regions.
