ECG to announce ‘dumsor’ timetable for May

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is set to release a ‘dumsor’ timetable as it announces planned power cuts from May 10 to 17.

According to the CEO of the Company, Agyemang Budu, the expected outages within the timeframe, will be due to the ongoing works on the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point.

During a tour of the Pokuase BSP which has been under construction since 2019, Kwame Agyemang Budu said ECG was finalising details of the timetable to be announced.

“The actual outages will occur from May 10 to 17. These outages are due to connecting the GRIDCO line to the national grid,” he said as quoted by myjoyonline.

According to Mr Agyemang Budu, the scheduled outages will be rotated to minimise the impact on the affected areas.

“We are coming out with a planned schedule whereby the affected areas are grouped into four. We have done it in such a way that no single customer will see the outage throughout the eight days,” he revealed.

He added, “we will see probably a 12-hour outage in the day time and then in three days we’ll have another outage at night.”

The outages, mainly to be in Accra, will affect Pokuase, Nsawam, Gbawe, Mallam, Achimota, Awoshie, and other areas.
