The Ghana Grid Company Ltd (GRIDCo), the main transporter of the country’s bulk electrical power, is installing a new 66 Megavolt Amperes (MVA) transformer at its Anwomanso substation to improve electricity supply in the Greater Kumasi area.
The installation activity is expected to be completed by the middle of this month and would solve the current erratic power supply being experienced by residents of Kumasi.
Residents of Kumasi and its environs have been experiencing power outages for some time now due to the unreliable power supply.

The Director of Northern Network Services of the GRIDCO, Mr Vincent Boakye, who conducted journalists on a tour of the project site, said the challenge inherent in the supply of power was due to the distance from the generation point to the load centre.
The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has said it has begun installing another transformer at the Anwomaso sub-station to add to the existing ones to improve the quality of power transmission in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi.
