The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has denied claims of ‘dumsor’ in Kumasi despite ongoing power outages. According to ECG’s Ashanti West PRO, Benjamin Obeng Antwi, the blackouts are due to underground cable faults and maintenance work on old power structures.
He explained that five bulk supply points in the region are being upgraded to improve power stability, leading to temporary outages. ECG apologized to affected customers, assuring them that the disruptions are not a return to ‘dumsor’ but a necessary measure to enhance electricity supply.
Residents were also urged to report cases of power theft, as ECG continues efforts to secure its infrastructure.
