Govt Announces Structured Electricity Distribution Enhancement Programme
The government has announced a structured distribution enhancement programme as an immediate remedy to mitigate pockets of outages being experienced in Accra and Kumasi.
These measures are intended to reduce technical losses across the network; improve voltage stability and power quality; enhance fault detection and response times; and support the integration of new generation capacity into the grid.
Addressing the press, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, said the government was also strengthening operational efficiency and accountability within Ghana’s utilities, particularly ECG, to ensure improved service delivery and better customer engagement.
“Let me emphasise that these investments are not short-term fixes, but part of a sustained and strategic effort to build a resilient, modern, and future-ready electricity distribution system capable of supporting Ghana’s economic transformation and 24-hour economy agenda.”
He, therefore, appealed to the public to bear with ECG during this period of intensive upgrades.
“We understand the frustrations, but these temporary inconveniences are part of a necessary process to deliver a more reliable and efficient power system.”
