THE ELECTRICITY Company of Ghana (ECG) has commissioned a new 11KV feeder at Teshie New England, a significant step towards enhancing power supply in the Accra East region.
The newly installed feeder is aimed at improving the quality and reliability of power supply, significantly reducing instances of power outages and low voltage that customers in Teshie, Tseaddo, Chain Homes and surrounding areas have been experiencing.
The Accra East Region aims to enhance customer satisfaction and experience through various development projects that address their electricity needs.
The new feeder is part of an initiative to reduce downtime and enhance the overall customer experience in Teshie New England and nearby communities.
Accra East regional Manager of ECG, Bismark Otoo, explained that the construction of the feeder aligns with ECG’s commitment to providing safe, quality, and reliable electricity to consumers.
He indicated that the existing feeder serving the area was overloaded, resulting in frequent outages and low voltage, stating that “with this new feeder, some customers will be transferred to relieve the load on the old one, meaning they will no longer experience frequent outages and low voltages.”
He emphasised that the Accra East Region is dedicated to promoting local economic growth by ensuring stable power supply across the area.
He further stated that the commissioning of the feeder would provide convenience to customers reliant on electricity for their businesses, thereby boosting economic growth in the region.
Mr. Otoo noted that this initiative would also facilitate quicker fault detection and isolation, enabling engineers to restore power swiftly in the event of disruptions.
He mentioned that the Accra East Region has undertaken several projects to improve service delivery and ensure customer satisfaction.
Residents who attended the commissioning event expressed their gratitude for the initiative, highlighting the positive impact it will have on their daily lives.
