Ketu South Coastal Erosion: ECG to relocate poles in affected areas - MyJoyOnline

In response to severe coastal erosion affecting Ketu South, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced plans to relocate utility poles in impacted zones. The ongoing erosion has threatened the structural integrity of electricity infrastructure, prompting urgent action from local authorities and ECG officials.

Community members have expressed concerns about the safety risks posed by leaning poles, particularly in areas where homes are in close proximity. The ECG is prioritizing public safety and service continuity as it undertakes these relocations.

The initiative comes amid broader efforts by government agencies to address the growing challenges posed by coastal erosion, which has been exacerbated by climate change and rising sea levels. As part of this strategy, ECG is collaborating with local stakeholders to identify high-risk areas and ensure that power supply remains stable while safeguarding community welfare.

Residents hope that these proactive measures will mitigate further risks associated with erosion and enhance the resilience of their neighborhoods against environmental threats.
