The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced an extensive schedule of both planned and emergency maintenance activities affecting multiple regions across the country during the week of 22 to 28 February 2026. These maintenance works are part of ECG’s ongoing efforts to improve the reliability of the national power distribution network, prevent faults, and enhance long-term service quality for customers. Although the work is designed to strengthen system performance, it will lead to temporary power outages in numerous communities across the Greater Accra, Central and Ashanti regions.
In the Greater Accra Region, including Tema and Accra metropolitan areas, scheduled works are set to cause interruptions to electricity supply in several localities. On Sunday, 22 February, residents in neighbourhoods such as Fennice, Saglemi, Metal, Lakpleku Housing, RSG, Rainbow Paints, Bundase Military Training Camp, TT Brothers, Macbaron Charllets and Zonda Trucks will experience outages from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. These outages arise as technicians conduct essential system checks and infrastructure upgrades.
Monday, 23 February, will see customers in areas of Leisure Hours, Nungua Zongo, Royal Park, Blue Blue, Kpeshie Divisional Headquarters and Coco Beach without power during similar daytime hours, reflecting the phased nature of ECG’s maintenance deployment across residential and commercial zones. On Tuesday, 24 February, scheduled outages will affect localities including Kpong, Odumase, Nuaso, Agormeda and Kojonya among other nearby communities. The Tema schedule for Thursday, 26 February, includes areas such as GCB Training School, Buade, Kokobribri, Royal Ravico, Junction Mall and Old Ningo, each slated for temporary interruption between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
In the Accra East Region, ECG has further outlined a series of power disruptions to facilitate both emergency and planned maintenance exercises. Among these, Sunday’s emergency work will impact locations around Electro Volta House and adjacent districts from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. On Monday, residents in Teiman, Ga East Hospital precinct, Boshe Norman and surrounding locales will be without supply from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday’s plan includes outages in Santana Market, Ayikuma and Doryumu areas, while Wednesday and Thursday will see work conducted around La Cemetery, parts of Burma Camp, Lakeside Estate Com. 6 and 8, New Legon and East Legon’s Block Factory, among others. In each instance, maintenance is set for the 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. window.
The Accra West Region is also scheduled for both emergency and planned works. On Sunday, emergency maintenance will affect key institutions such as Latter Day Saint Headquarters, the Ghana Immigration Service, Alisa Hotel, Swiss Embassy and the West African Examinations Council. In the coming days, scheduled power cuts will impact areas including Abedi Pele Park, Dunyo, Red Top, Old Barrier, New Aplaku, Eden Heights and Achimota Neoplan among others during daytime maintenance hours. The week’s schedule will culminate with outages affecting a wide range of communities including Katapor, Edusa, Tetegu, White Cross, Medie, Sarpeiman, John Teye, Franko Estate and Ecobloc.
The Central Region is scheduled for maintenance that will affect Saltpond and several surrounding communities on Monday, 23 February, with a broader exercise on Thursday, 26 February, that covers a larger footprint including Abonko, Nananom junction, Roman hospital, Bafikrom, Greenwood and New Nkusukum areas. In the Ashanti Region, an emergency maintenance operation on Sunday, 22 February, will affect several towns and rural districts from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., followed by planned works on Tuesday, 24 February, in Agona Municipal and its environs.
ECG has explained that these maintenance works are necessary to prevent unexpected power disruptions, enhance operational safety, and uphold system resilience. The company has expressed regret for the inconvenience these outages may cause, noting that such interventions are essential to ensure a more reliable and stable power supply across the affected zones. Customers are encouraged to plan for these interruptions and make necessary adjustments to minimise disruption to daily activities.
Repeated rounds of planned maintenance in recent weeks reflect ECG’s ongoing prioritisation of infrastructure upkeep. Previous maintenance announcements across the Greater Accra and Central regions show a consistent pattern of scheduled outages designed to bolster system performance and avert longer-term failures. Such preparatory works are part of broader efforts by Ghana’s power distribution sector to reduce faults, manage load effectively, and meet the growing demands of residential and commercial electricity consumers.
Ultimately, while temporary service interruptions can be disruptive, these planned and emergency maintenance exercises are positioned as critical to preventing more severe or prolonged outages in future. By undertaking regular maintenance, ECG aims to strengthen the integrity of the distribution network and expedite service restoration when unanticipated faults occur.
