Residents of Atimatim Besease and Adubinsu are raising concerns over a week-long power outage that has disrupted daily life and economic activities in the communities.
According to affected residents, electricity supply has been unavailable for the past seven days, with repeated attempts to seek intervention from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) yielding no immediate resolution.
The prolonged outage has reportedly impacted households, small businesses, and essential services that depend heavily on stable power supply.
Traders dealing in perishable goods say they are incurring significant losses, while artisans and small-scale operators who rely on electricity to run their equipment have been forced to suspend work.
Some residents described the situation as frustrating, noting that the lack of communication regarding the cause of the outage or a timeline for restoration has heightened anxiety in the area.
“The power has been off for a week now, and it is affecting everything we do,” one resident said. “We depend on electricity for our daily activities, and this situation is becoming unbearable.”
Community members are calling on the ECG to urgently address the issue and restore electricity to prevent further disruption and economic hardship.
As of the time of filing this report, officials of the Electricity Company of Ghana had not publicly responded to the concerns raised by residents.
