The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced that power outages may occur in some parts of the country.
These outages are expected to occur during the peak load period between 7 pm and 11 pm.
The power distribution company has stated that increased demand on some 630 transformers nationwide has led to blown fuses and broken conductors in its transformers.

In a March 12 statement, the company explained that it is upgrading some of these facilities and installing new ones to ensure a more stable electricity supply.
Speaking to JoyNews, ECG Managing Director Samuel Dubik explained, "I know the engineering team puts out these notices, if my customers are saying they didn’t get them, I'm sorry."
Some Ghanaians are already describing the outages as the return of the power crisis or ‘dumsor’.
But Mr Dubik insists on Joy FM’s Newsite that “there is no dumsor."
“But everybody wants to stay with the fact that there is dumsor. If there is dumsor that means there is a generational gap, or a generational problem.”
