The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has informed the public of power outages, commonly referred to as Dumsor, affecting more than 50 communities in Accra.
In a statement published by the ECG attributed the disruptions in the affected areas to a reduction in power supply from the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo).
Many Ghanaians though express frustration over the impending outages, many have said they are currently experiencing the outages in their communities and the publication adds no value to their lives unless the ECG furnishes the public with a comprehensive and extensive schedule to help them plan their routines.

According to the ECG, GRIDCo decreased the supply of electricity to its (ECG’s) supply points on Thursday, April 25, 2024. This action has resulted in power cuts across several neighborhoods in the nation’s capital, leading to inconvenience for residents and businesses in the impacted areas.
