The Ashanti Region will see two separate outages on Wednesday. The first affects Asewase town, Aboabo Number One and Number Two, Golden Temple, Asewase Renault, and surrounding areas from 9:00 am to 1:00pm, a four-hour disruption. The second Ashanti outage, lasting from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, will hit the Tech Commercial area, IDL, Tech hospital area, the KNUST Senior High School area, and adjoining communities. Both notices were originally released over the weekend of 23rd and 24th May.
In the Tema Region, the outage will run from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, a six-hour window.

Customers in the affected communities have been encouraged to contact ECG's official channels for further updates.
