Residents of Mpohor in the Western Region are expected to see improvements in electricity supply as the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) moves to resolve persistent outages in the area.
The intervention follows recent protests by youth in Mpohor Fiase, who took to the streets to demand urgent action over the erratic power situation affecting households and businesses.
In an interview with Adom News, ECG Western Regional Manager, Ing. Emmanuel J. Ofori, explained that the instability stems from an existing power arrangement that connects Mpohor to a supply line from Manso.
He noted that the current setup exposes the community to frequent disruptions, as faults occurring either on the main Manso line or within Mpohor itself often result in repeated outages.
To address the challenge, ECG has commenced the construction of a new 4-kilometre distribution line that will decouple Mpohor from the Manso feed.
According to Ing. Ofori, the project is expected to significantly improve reliability by isolating the town from faults on the external line, ensuring a more stable and consistent power supply.
He added that the works are expected to be completed by the end of the year, after which residents should experience a marked improvement in electricity service delivery.
