Ada: ECG sensitises public on bushfires

The Ada District of the Tema Region of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is making an appeal for public support against bushfires, which keep causing havoc to the power distribution company.

In collaboration with the media, assembly members and stakeholders, ECG has been sensitising the public on bushfires especially during this harmattan season.

Bushfires often result from unintentional fires set up to clear specific areas, but which end up affecting other places as well, causing damage to property, animals and in the case of ECG, some wooden electricity poles in bushy areas.

In the Ada District, the company has lost some electricity wooden poles in Koluedor Zongo, Tojeh, Hwakpo and Addo Kope since December 2023.

The district manager for ECG Ada District, Ing. Louis Nutsugah, said “we appeal to those engaged in these activities to consider the danger it poses to the stability of electricity supply to the communities in the district”.

Ing. Nutsugah also called for public support for all to be on alert and watchful in the communities so that, “hopefully, we can help to prevent as well as educate community members on the effects of bushfires”.

He thanked all stakeholders who continuously support the activities of the utility service provider and called for continuous collaboration to ensure better services.
