The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has said the eight-day erratic power supply (Dumsor) experienced in some parts of the country has ended.

In a statement Tuesday, May 18, the company said "the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) wishes to inform the general public especially the affected customers that the programme has ended today Tuesday, 18th May 2021 at 6.00 am.”
