The exercise which will have some affected areas with no lights from 6am to 6pm, and others from 6pm to 6am, is expected to end on Monday, May 17, 2021.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) released the schedule last month for a planned interruption in power supply to many parts of the national capital.
The power distributor explained that the timetable has become necessary due to the ongoing works on the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point, hence the need to shut down the transmission line which will affect the Mallam Bulk Supply Point that supplies power to many households.
Power will be interrupted between 6:00am and 6:00pm, as well as 6:00pm and 6:00am in more than forty communities, which have been placed in four different groups, that is A, B, C and D.
The outage will be experienced by two alternating groups each day until the end of the exercise.
Some of the areas to be affected include Awoshie, Nsakina, Dansoman, Ashalaja, Tuba, Abossey Okai, Dansoman, Tuba, Pokuase ACP Estates, Amasaman, Taifa, Ofankor, Kokrobite, Fadama, Israel, and Abeka market.
