The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), on Tuesday pledged its commitment to improving on reliability, quality and distribution of electricity in the country.
�To boost electricity supply, three bulk supply point sub-stations are under construction at Dansoman, Cantoments and Legon to minimise the current problem,� Mr William Hutton-Mensah, ECG Acting Managing Director said.
The Acting Managing Director, who was speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), explained that two other companies, Volta River Authority, which generates power for GRIDCO to transmit and ECG to distribute had challenges with their systems and networks.
He said the current load shedding was as a result of high demand for electricity in the country, which the generation could not meet.
Mr Hutton-Mensah said the ECG was undertaking more pre-payment metering to improve on the system as well as create more stations for vendors throughout the country.
He appealed to the public to bear with ECG in this difficult moment, and gave assurance of quality power supply soon.
