The Electricity Company of Ghana has announced plans to deploy 300 new transformers in the Ashanti Region to improve power supply.
The acting managing director, Julius Kwame Kpekpena, said the move aims to reduce persistent outages and stabilize electricity delivery.
He admitted that residents are facing challenges such as intermittent power cuts and low voltage, but assured that interventions are underway.
Mr. Kpekpena made the announcement during a working visit to the region, where he paid a courtesy call on the Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene.
He explained that some projects will be completed within three months, while others may take up to a year depending on their scale.
During the visit, the ECG team inspected key infrastructure projects, including the Anwomaso–Boadi–Kaase sub-transmission line, ongoing rehabilitation at the Ridge Bulk Supply Point, and a transmission line from Adoato through Barekese to Offinso.
The company says these projects form part of a broader plan to strengthen the power distribution network and improve service delivery across the region.
