ECG blames Thursday’s power outage on heavy rainstorm

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has attributed the widespread power outage on Thursday, March 13, to a heavy rainstorm that hit several parts of the country, particularly in the Greater Accra Region.

In an official statement, ECG apologized for the inconvenience and assured the public that engineers were actively working to fix the faults and restore power as soon as possible.

The storm also caused severe flooding in parts of Accra, including the Ofankor Barrier stretch of the N1 Highway, leading to heavy traffic congestion and disruptions.
