The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the Western Region has commenced a project to extend electricity supply to Whindo, a suburb of Takoradi.<\/p>\n

Whindo, one of the fastest growing suburbs in Takoradi has seen a lot of residential developments in recent times.<\/p>\n

However, due to the unavailability of a standard LV Network in the area, many people have resorted to illegal connections which invariably put lives and properties at risk.<\/p>\n

The project therefore seeks to extend supply to the newly built residential facilities and also improve the existing network.<\/p>\n

The Western Regional General Manager of ECG, Ing. Jacqueline Ofori-Atta, indicated that the project will not only ensure reliable electricity supply to the area, but also reduce the risk of electrocutions as a result of the many interconnections.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a company, we are committed to our responsibilities to our customers. Our pledge to provide safe, reliable and quality electricity services to support the economic development of Ghana remains unshaken\u201d Ing. Ofori-Atta noted.<\/p>\n

She further disclosed that the estimated cost of the project is GH\u00a21,271,488.87 with an installation component of GH\u00a2157,149.31.<\/p>\n

On his part, the Western Regional Engineer, Ing. Ebenezer Ghunney, noted that the project will see the installation of six (6no.) 200kVA, 33\/0.433kV Pole Mounted Transformers.<\/p>\n

This, he believes, will significantly improve the quality of power supply to the Whindo area upon completion of the project by the close of 2017.
