The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), said on Monday that a widespread power outage across parts of the Ashanti Region, including Greater Kumasi, was caused by a technical problem originating upstream of its distribution network.
In a brief notice seen by Asaase News, ECG said it was working with its partners to resolve the fault and restore electricity to affected customers, apologising for the inconvenience caused.
It did not provide a timeline for full restoration.
The blackout, which affected homes, businesses and major road intersections, left traffic lights non-functional and compounded heat-related discomfort in the city.
The disruption came a day after AKSA Energy announced the successful integration of its 141-megawatt Anwomaso Power Plant into Ghana’s national transmission grid.
The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has said the new plant is expected to strengthen supply reliability in the Ashanti Region and surrounding areas, particularly during peak demand.
It was not immediately clear whether the outage was linked to the integration process.
Ghana has faced recurring power supply challenges in recent years, prompting renewed investment in generation capacity and grid upgrades aimed at stabilising electricity delivery nationwide.
