Residents of Tse Addo at La, near Accra, are expected to see improved power supply in their area with the installation of a mobile electricity substation in the vicinity.
The mobile transformer, with a capacity of 20/26 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) and operating at a voltage of 33/11 Kilovolt Ampere (KV), will be temporarily stationed at Tse Addo to support a portion of the load from the La Primary Substation.
Installed by the Electricity Company of Ghana, the facility would augment the transformer at La, whose demand was more than 100 per cent thereby putting stress on it.
Communities anticipated to benefit from the upgrade include Tse Addo, Chain Homes and surrounding areas.
Maintenance Manager, ECG Subtransmission, Accra, Emmanuel Kwame Addo, said the capacity of the facility could take care of over 5,000 customers in the area.
