The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a series of scheduled power interruptions in parts of Teshie and Nungua as it undertakes a major transformer upgrade at the Teshie-Nungua Primary Substation.
In a press release issued on April 23, 2026, ECG said the project forms part of the government’s ongoing Transformer Replacement and Upgrade Programme aimed at improving electricity supply reliability across the country.
The upgrade will involve replacing an existing 20/26MVA transformer with a higher-capacity 30/39MVA unit. The exercise is scheduled to take place over four days, from Monday, April 27 to Thursday, April 30, 2026.
According to ECG, the works are expected to significantly enhance power delivery within the Teshie-Nungua enclave by increasing supply capacity, reducing system overloads, minimizing equipment failures, and improving voltage stability.
However, to ensure the safe execution of the project, customers within the affected areas will experience phased and rotational power outages. ECG indicated that the interruptions will be organized into groups (A–E), with each group experiencing outages lasting between five and six hours depending on the phase of the work.
Areas expected to be affected include parts of Teshie Zongo, Grada Estates, Century Road, Tsui Bleoo, Abolebu, Teshie First Junction, Manet Court Estates, Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly, Lekma Hospital, and surrounding communities.
ECG acknowledged the inconvenience the temporary outages may cause but emphasized that the upgrade is essential for long-term improvements in electricity supply.
“The exercise is necessary to deliver a more stable and reliable power supply to customers in the Teshie-Nungua area,” the statement noted.
The company further assured the public of its commitment to strengthening Ghana’s power distribution network through sustained infrastructure investments and proactive maintenance.
Detailed outage schedules, ECG added, will be made available through its official communication platforms.
