The Electricity Company of Ghana has bemoaned the constant unauthorized involvement of certain individuals in the Ada District in the Greater Accra Region, who keep accessing the electricity distribution network.
This, the District Manager, Ing. Louis Harley Nutsugah says, ends up causing faults and outages as well as damage to fuses and transformers, thereby affecting power supply to consumers.
He is, therefore cautioning the public to avoid such inteference as it could result in electrocution and damage to property.
Ing. Nutsugah made this call while interacting with a cross-section of media persons on Monday, November 11, 2024, at the Ada Office.
He also indicated that “we have informed the Assembly Members and other opinion leaders in the various communities to help us advise their people to stop such inteferences.”
“We are also on the lookout to get any such person and prosecute them for unauthorized entry to our network,” he added.
Ing Nutsugah mentioned that “it is our commitment to ensure power supply and to fix faults as soon as possible.
“However, there are times when the faults team could be working at one place and can not immediately show up at another place. We also have distance to be covered before getting to customers, so we are pleading for restraint and patience and not asking technicians to get into the network to supposedly fix problems.”
He also pleaded with customers to pay their bills on time and to not pile up debt which then becomes difficult to pay.
