The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced the successful completion of Phase Two of the government’s Transformer Replacement and Upgrade Programme at the Lashibi Primary Substation, ahead of schedule.
In a statement issued on April 16, ECG disclosed that although the project was initially slated for completion on April 17, its technical teams worked around the clock to finish installation and testing earlier than planned. As a result, electricity supply to Lashibi and surrounding communities has been fully restored sooner than expected.
The upgrade forms part of a broader government effort to strengthen Ghana’s power infrastructure and improve service delivery. ECG noted that the project is aimed at reducing system overloads, minimizing frequent outages, and ensuring a more stable and reliable power supply for consumers.
Following the completion of the Lashibi works, ECG indicated that preparations are underway for the next phase of transformer upgrades. The company said details regarding the location and schedule of upcoming projects will be communicated through its official channels in the coming days.
Additionally, ECG revealed plans to roll out an expanded programme to replace aging distribution transformers in various communities across the country, as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the national grid.
The company expressed appreciation to residents of Lashibi for their patience and cooperation during the period of planned outages, noting that their support enabled the successful and timely completion of the project.
ECG reaffirmed its commitment to delivering reliable electricity services to support Ghana’s development.
