The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has explained the cause of the power outage in Kumawu and its environs.
The power outage has affected Kumawu, Nkwanta, Bodomase, Besoro, and other communities in the Sekyere Kumawu District, as well as parts of the Ashanti Region.
In a public notice issued on Sunday, October 11, 2026, ECG attributed the power outage affecting parts of the Ashanti Region to a technical challenge at the Anwomaso Bulk Supply Point (BSP).
According to ECG, the technical challenge at the facility has disrupted electricity supply to affected communities, including those within the Sekyere Kumawu District.
ECG Engineers Working to Restore Power
ECG has assured affected customers that its engineers are working to rectify the fault and restore electricity supply to the affected areas.
The company acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the outage and expressed regret to customers who have been affected by the interruption in power supply.
However, ECG did not specify an exact time for the restoration of electricity in its public notice.
Communities Affected by the Power Outage
The power outage has affected residents and businesses in Kumawu and surrounding communities. Some of the affected communities in the Sekyere Kumawu District include:
- Kumawu
- Nkwanta
- Bodomase
- Besoro
- Other surrounding communities in the district
Parts of the wider Ashanti Region have also experienced the power interruption, according to ECG’s announcement.
ECG Appeals to Customers for Patience
ECG’s announcement indicates that the interruption is due to a technical challenge at the Anwomaso Bulk Supply Point rather than a fault reported exclusively within Kumawu.
Residents, business owners, and other electricity consumers in the affected communities are encouraged to follow official ECG communication channels for further updates on the situation and the restoration of power.
The company has assured affected customers that its engineers are working to resolve the technical problem and restore normal electricity supply as soon as possible.
