The Electricity Company of Ghana finished building a new power line that cost nearly 3 million cedis. Workers spent six months connecting the Afari Substation to Nkawie in Greater Kumasi. The project used 95 new poles and modern equipment to carry electricity. Officials say the line will help thousands of people get better power service. George Amoah leads the company's Ashanti West Region and announced the completion.
The new power line serves eight communities around Nkawie. People in Bedabour, Gyankobaa, Mpasatia and five other areas will receive stronger electricity. These customers previously relied on a distant substation at Agogo for their power needs. The old system often delivered weak electricity because of the long distance. Many residents complained about dim lights and poor electrical service.
Construction crews built the line because many new buildings appeared in the Nkawie area. More homes and businesses created higher demand for electricity each month. The old power system could not handle all the new customers asking for service. Company officials knew they needed to act quickly before problems got worse. The new line will prevent future electrical shortages.
ECG plans to build another power line from Afari Substation to Sepaase soon. This second project will help customers in Afari, Nerebehi and Ntrensere communities. The company wants to reduce pressure on existing electrical systems across the region. Better power lines mean more reliable electricity for homes and businesses. These improvements support economic growth throughout the Greater Kumasi area.
