The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has procured 11 mobile substations at the cost of about US $3.5 million. This mobile unit, the company said, will boost the power supply across the country. In an interview with Joy News, the Director of Engineering at the ECG, Mr. Julius Kwame Kpegbena, said the mobile unit would be used to provide alternative power supply for its customers while the company takes time to correct problems on any of its substations. It has four different capacities – 350, 500, 800, and 20MVA; which is the biggest among the four. "It is going to help revamp the availability of power supply by the company in order to improve the living standards of its customers, Mr. Julius Kwame Kpegbena explained. He said the mobile unit would be used in all the operational stations of the company adding, “We have it at all our operational centres across the country”. He said the ECG substations generally, has what is termed “switch gear transformer” and other switches which lowers the voltage to utilization level. “At the distribution level, we have ten of them. At the sub transmission level, we have one and we have a contract for another one. So at the end of the year, we will have two in the country,” Mr. Julius Kwame Kpegbena noted.
