The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has scheduled an extensive network of planned maintenance exercises across three regions for Thursday, April 23, 2026, with engineers set to undertake critical infrastructure upgrades that will temporarily disrupt power supply to dozens of communities in the Tema, Central, and Accra West Regions.

A second exercise during the same timeframe will impact First Bank at Ashaiman, Lashibi, Community 19 Annex, Klagon, and surrounding areas.
In the Central Region, a planned maintenance operation will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, affecting Afrangua Town, Mpeseduadze, Obokor, Jedi, Anoky, Nananom, New Nkusukum, Mankessim, Bafikrom, MSTS, Estates, and surrounding areas.
