The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a scheduled maintenance exercise in parts of the Ashanti Region that will result in a temporary power outage on Thursday, April 9, 2026.

Several communities across the region will be affected by the outage. These include Akrowa, Kodie, Apagya, Akrofrom, Patasi, Aduman, Aduamoah, Denase, Akom, Nkwantakese, Pampatia, Boamang, Amoako, Tetrem, the Dwamena Akenten Senior High School, Offinso, Namong, Kokote, Kayera, parts of Barekese, Abira, and several surrounding areas.
ECG expressed regret over the inconvenience the planned outage is likely to cause to residents, businesses, and institutions within the affected zones. The company emphasised that such maintenance works are necessary to ensure long-term stability and efficiency in power distribution.
Residents and businesses in the affected communities have been advised to make adequate preparations, including arranging alternative sources of power where necessary, to minimise disruptions to their daily activities during the outage period.
