Accra: ECG Assures Customers Of Power Restoration After Rainstorm, Floods
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has assured the public that its engineers are working tirelessly to restore power after a heavy rainstorm on Thursday, March 13, 2025, caused outages in parts of Accra and its surrounding areas.
In a public notice, ECG stated; “The heavy rainstorm that hit Accra and its environs this evening has caused some outages within our network. ECG wishes to assure all affected customers that our engineers are working assiduously to repair the faults and restore power supply. The inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.”
The storm, which brought rainfall, resulted in flooding, particularly along the Ofankor Barrier stretch of the N1 Highway, leading to severe traffic congestion and disruptions.
The floods left many pedestrians stranded, while some motorists desperately tried to maneuver through the waterlogged roads.
The flooding along the N1 Highway caused a major traffic buildup, extending from the Achimota Old Station to Tantra Hill and beyond.
Some drivers, in an attempt to avoid being trapped, reversed their vehicles near the Neoplan Station to find alternative routes through Taifa and nearby communities.
However, others were not as fortunate, as several vehicles were completely submerged in the rising floodwaters.
Areas such as Shiashie suffered significant water accumulation. Streets, homes, and businesses were inundated, further exposing the city’s ongoing battle with inadequate flood control measures.
