The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will cut power to several communities and key facilities in Ghana’s Central Region for seven hours on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The planned interruption will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm while engineers carry out maintenance on the electricity distribution network.
ECG announced the schedule in an official notice published on its Facebook page on Thursday, November 5. The company said the work was intended to improve service delivery and strengthen the reliability of supplies in the affected areas.
The Central Region outage follows planned interruptions in the Eastern, Western and Accra West regions on Friday, November 6, as ECG continues routine maintenance across its operational areas.
Communities and facilities affected
The following locations will be without electricity during the scheduled maintenance period:
– SSNIT Flat
– Elmina Zongo
– Ankaful Prisons and Mental Hospital
– Ankaful Township
– Brimsu Headworks
– Elmina Shell, CP
– African Pot
– Eturi
– Duakro

– Amamuma
– Apeawusika and surrounding environs
The interruption will affect households, businesses and public institutions in the listed communities. ECG specifically recognised the potential impact on the Ankaful health and correctional facilities, as well as the Brimsu water treatment headworks.
The company apologised for the inconvenience caused by the scheduled seven-hour power cut and urged customers to prepare for the interruption.
Residents, workshops and institutions have been advised to switch off sensitive electrical appliances before 9:00 am on Tuesday. Customers have also been encouraged to make alternative arrangements for electricity and to store sufficient water for the period between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm.
ECG gives update on other outages
In a separate engagement on Thursday, November 5, ECG assured the Energy Commission that recent power outages in the Ashanti Region would end soon.
The assurance followed an announcement by GRIDCo and ECG of planned outages linked to a transmission upgrade. The project was reported to be 70 per cent complete.
Customers affected by interruptions outside the advertised period should report them to ECG. Faults can also be reported if residents see fallen electrical cables.
