The rainstorm experienced in the early hours of Monday, 6th May 2024, has caused some destruction of property and has also affected the electricity supply as some poles and cables were brought down.
The Tema Region of the Electricity Company of Ghana reports of fallen poles and cables with some falling due to being hit by a ripped roof and another by the material used for billboards.
In Aviation New York, for instance, a low-voltage pole had its cables torn due to a ripped roof that hit it.
At Gbetsile, a high-tension pole fell with its accompanying cables.
Both instances got some customers off the electricity supply as the maintenance teams of the power distribution company have gotten to work to fix all such faults.
With the onset of the rains and as the rainy season is here, the PRO for ECG Tema Region, Sakyiwaa Mensah made a cautionary appeal to customers and the general public to “ensure their safety during rainstorms by staying away from bare cables hanging from poles or lying on the ground, broken poles, and to also report any such destruction to ECG”.
