Ashanti West – 27 January, 2025<\/p>\n

For residents, traders, and small businesses in Sepaase and surrounding communities, reliable electricity is more than a convenience – it is essential to daily life and economic activity. In response to growing demand, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Ashanti West Region, has taken steps to strengthen power supply by upgrading and commissioning new transformers in parts of the region.<\/p>\n

At Sepaase in the Abuakwa District, ECG has upgraded an existing 200kVA transformer to a higher-capacity 315kVA unit. The upgrade, completed on Thursday, 22nd January, 2025, is expected to significantly improve supply stability for customers in Sepaase Township, Newsite, and nearby areas.<\/p>\n

According to the Abuakwa District Manager, Ing. Michael Oti Yeboah, the upgrade was driven by increasing electricity demand in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers in Sepaase and its environs have grown in number, and their power needs have increased. This upgrade is meant to ensure they enjoy stable and reliable electricity to support their homes and businesses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the Sepaase project is part of several ongoing network improvement initiatives within the Abuakwa District, all aimed at delivering quality and dependable electricity to customers.<\/p>\n

While welcoming the improved infrastructure, Ing. Oti Yeboah also appealed to the public to avoid engaging private electricians during power outages. He explained that unauthorized interventions often result in illegal connections, overloading of transformers, and the use of substandard materials, which damage ECG equipment and prolong outages.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure safety and quick restoration, customers should always report outages through official ECG channels,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n

Customers can reach ECG through the National Contact Centre on 0302611611<\/strong>, the Abuakwa District faults line on 0203328025<\/strong>, visit the District Office at Atwima Agogo, use the ECG PowerApp, or contact @ECGghOfficial<\/strong> on Facebook, X, and Instagram.<\/p>\n

New Transformer Brings Relief to Doteam Community<\/h3>\n

In a related development, ECG has also commissioned a 100kVA transformer at Doteam near Kunsu in the Ahafo Ano South West District. The project was undertaken to relieve pressure on an existing transformer that was operating close to its maximum capacity.<\/p>\n

The Ashanti West Regional Engineer, Ing. Emmanuel Osei Amoako, explained that the new transformer will help stabilize power supply and support economic activity in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis injection project will improve supply reliability, boost business activities, and enhance the overall quality of service for our cherished customers in Doteam,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

These interventions reflect ECG\u2019s continued commitment to strengthening electricity infrastructure across the Ashanti West Region, supporting community growth, and ensuring customers receive safe, reliable, and sustainable power.<\/p>\n
