Briefing newsmen at the Tema warehouse of ECG where the biggest of the mobile sub-stations is parked, Director of Engineering Julius Kpekpena said the latest acquisition of equipment is part of efforts be ECG to improve the quality of service delivery in the country. Each of the smaller mobile sub-stations cost $80,000 while the large one cost $1.8 million including freight and handling charges. The Electricity Company of Ghana says it is investing heavily in expansion works to improve the quality of service to consumers. To this extend, six eleven kilowatts sub-stations estimated at $ 12 million are being put up to improve power supply to communities. A third bulk supply station is also being put up at Agyirigano near Madina to supply power to consumers around Spintex, Madina, East Legon and surrounding areas.
