Widespread power outage affects multiple regions in Ghana

In Accra, areas such as Adabraka, Weija, Tesano, Achimota, Dzorwulu, Legon, Madina, Adenta, and Oyarifa reported outages from around 4:15 a.m. The disruption also extended to Aburi in the Eastern Region and parts of the Central and Ashanti regions. The cause of the outage is currently unknown, and power sector agencies have not yet provided details on the trigger or an estimated time for full restoration. This incident marks the second major disruption to the national power system in less than a month, following a similar widespread outage on July 29, 2026, which affected Accra, Tema, Kasoa, and parts of the Ashanti and Eastern regions.

The recurring outages are expected to raise concerns regarding the stability of the national power grid and the reliability of electricity supply. Updates are anticipated from the Ghana Grid Company GRIDCo, the Electricity Company of Ghana ECG, and other relevant agencies.
