ECG to install mobile transformer to boost power supply

To address the growing electricity demand in and around Tseaddo, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Sub-Transmission Accra, will install a mobile transformer to enhance power supply and improve system reliability.

The mobile transformer, with a capacity of 20/26 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) and operating at a voltage of 33/11 Kilovolts (kV), will be temporarily stationed at Tseaddo to support part of the load from the La Primary Substation.

Communities expected to benefit from this upgrade include Tseaddo, Chain Homes, and the surrounding areas.

The introduction of the mobile substation is expected to not only improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply but also boost revenue for ECG's operations.

Additionally, it aims to stimulate socio-economic activities within the affected communities.

The mobile transformer will serve as a temporary solution to current challenges and will remain in use until the transformers at the existing La Primary Substation are upgraded.
