Ghana: The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has revealed that the company has installed 400 transformers to stabilize electricity supply in Oti region.

ECG’s regional manager for the Oti Region Emmanuel Lumor disclosed this during the Regional ECG stakeholder engagement with its municipal and district managers.

In addition to transformers, Lumor also mentioned that ECG has taken measures to prevent the situation where the company’s poles get burnt annually.

“The ECG has also provided enough meters to replace the faulty ones,” he added.

An opportunity was given to the public to air their grievances.

On concerns that street lights in the region do not function regularly, Lumor advised residents to contact the ECG to provide them with certified electricians anytime their street lights develop faults.

On his part, the Oti Regional Minister Joshua Makubu appealed to the Municipal and District Assemblies to factor ECG officials in their District Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT) meetings to sensitise the assembly members on some of these issues.

He also requested the District and Municipal Managers of the ECG to submit lists of certified electricians to the MDAs.
