Flooding in parts of the Volta Region has forced the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to initiate a shutdown of its Bulk Supply Station in Sogakope.
The flooding, a consequence of overflow from the Akosombo Dam, has disrupted power supply to several communities in the region.
In an official statement, the Electricity Company of Ghana explained that water from the dam’s spillage had inundated the Sogakope Bulk Supply Point.
In the interest of safety, the decision was made to temporarily halt operations at this station, which will inevitably impact electricity supply in the affected areas.
The primary objective of this measure is to protect the facility, which had been inundated by the floodwaters.
The power outage has affected communities in Sogakope, Anloga, Keta, Akatsi South, Abor, and North Tongu Districts.
