The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced a series of scheduled outages under its ECG Planned Maintenance programme, which will temporarily disrupt power supply in parts of the Tema and Central Regions from Sunday, February 22 to Thursday, February 26, 2026.

According to the Electricity Company of Ghana, the maintenance exercises are aimed at improving service delivery and strengthening the reliability of electricity supply. However, the works will result in temporary power interruptions during the specified hours.

In separate notices covering the affected regions, ECG indicated that the “planned works form part of its routine system upgrades and preventive maintenance activities.”

Tema Region: Sunday, February 22

The first round of maintenance in the Tema Region is scheduled for Sunday, February 22, 2026, between 9:00am and 3:00pm.

Communities expected to experience outages include Saglemi Housing, RSG, Pharmanova, Fenice Metal, Lakpleku, Boiko, Rainbow Paints, Bundase Military Training Camp, TT Brothers, Macbaron Charlets, Zonda Trucks and surrounding areas.

Residents and businesses within these locations are advised to make adequate arrangements to mitigate the impact of the six-hour interruption.

ECG noted that the exercise is part of efforts “to improve service delivery,” acknowledging that the temporary inconvenience is necessary to ensure long-term system stability.

Central Region: Monday, February 23

On Monday, February 23, 2026, ECG’s maintenance operations will shift to the Central Region. The scheduled outage will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm, affecting Saltpond Zongo, Kurankyekrom, Kormantse, Abandze, parts of Anomabo, Ekurabadze, Asafora and adjoining communities.

The utility provider reiterated that the maintenance works are designed to enhance network performance and prevent unplanned breakdowns. By undertaking these scheduled upgrades, ECG aims to reduce the frequency of unexpected outages and improve overall service quality in the region.

Tema Region: Tuesday, February 24

Maintenance activities will resume in the Tema Region on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Areas to be affected include Leisure Hours, Nungua Zongo, Royal Park, Blue Blue, Kpeshie Divisional Headquarters, Coco Beach and nearby communities.

Businesses operating in these areas, particularly hospitality and retail establishments, may need to activate alternative power sources during the outage period. ECG has advised customers to treat all electrical installations as live during the maintenance window as a safety precaution.

The maintenance schedule continues on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, again from 9:00am to 3:00pm, covering GCB Training School, Buade, Kokobribri, Royal Ravico, Junction Mall, Watch Tower, Alton Hotel, Regimanuel Estates, Queensland International School, Old Ningo, New Ningo and surrounding areas.

Given the mix of residential, educational and commercial facilities within these communities, the temporary outage is expected to affect a broad cross-section of consumers. ECG emphasised that such periodic maintenance is essential to modernising infrastructure and ensuring consistent power delivery.

The final phase of the announced maintenance will take place on Thursday, February 26, 2026, between 9:00am and 3:00pm. The affected areas include Kpong, Odumase, Nuaso, Agormeda, Kojonya, Community 19 Annex, Lashibi, Klagon and nearby localities.

By spreading the maintenance works across multiple days and regions, ECG aims to systematically address network needs without causing prolonged disruption in any single area.

ECG Apologises for Inconvenience

In all its notices, ECG expressed regret over the inconvenience that may arise from the temporary outages. “ECG regrets the inconvenience that will arise out of this exercise,” the company stated, assuring customers that the works are necessary to enhance the reliability and efficiency of electricity supply.

Planned maintenance has become a regular feature of Ghana’s electricity distribution system as the utility provider works to upgrade ageing infrastructure and respond to growing demand.

While temporary interruptions may pose challenges for households and businesses, ECG maintains that proactive maintenance reduces the likelihood of unexpected system failures.

Customers in the affected communities are encouraged to plan ahead, charge essential devices, and make alternative power arrangements where possible.
