ECG deploys emergency teams to stabilise power supply in Obuasi

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has deployed two standby emergency teams, each made up of five engineers and technicians, to be stationed at the Obuasi Bulk Supply Point (BSP).

This is coordinated response to recent power supply disruptions affecting Obuasi and surrounding communities.

It follows an emergency technical meeting convened between ECG Ashanti Sub-Transmission and Ashanti South Regional teams.

The high-level meeting, held on July 7, follows a broader sector-wide engagement involving the Deputy Minister of Energy and Green Transition, top executives of GRIDCo, ECG, and AngloGold Ashanti (AGA), and their respective technical directors and managers.

It was aimed at implementing short-term stabilisation measures while pushing for a lasting solution to restore full reliability to the power supply in the area.

At the heart of discussions were updates on system configurations already undertaken to mitigate the impact of the challenges, as well as contingency strategies ahead of the commissioning of GRIDCo’s 50/66MVA power transformer.

This is a critical infrastructure project expected to provide long-term relief to the power situation in Obuasi.

As part of the immediate response plan, ECG’s emergency teams are mandated to swiftly address any system interruptions to ensure residents and businesses experience minimal disruption.

Work is also progressing on the construction of an upgraded overhead line (OHL) to receive a new 33 kV power feed from GRIDCo to ECG’s Obuasi substation, further boosting supply reliability in the interim.

Speaking at the meeting, Ing. Daniel Mensah Asare, General Manager of ECG Ashanti South, pledged his region’s full support to the emergency teams on the ground.

“Obuasi is too important to be left in the dark. We are fully committed to providing the resources, manpower, and technical guidance needed to keep the power on for every home, business, and institution,” he assured.

This latest intervention demonstrates ECG’s resolve not only to fix technical issues but also to remain proactive and customer-centred in addressing supply challenges in critical urban and mining zones like Obuasi.
