The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has commenced the construction of a new power distribution line to improve electricity supply in several communities within the Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency, located in Greater Kumasi.
According to ECG, the project—which is currently 40% complete—is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. It is estimated to cost GH¢2,287,841.31.
Mr. George Amoah, ECG’s General Manager for the Ashanti West Region, revealed that the initiative involved the creation of a new 11kV feeder from the Kumasi Asekyem Primary Substation.
This feeder is expected to ease the load on the existing Kokoben and Ampabame feeders. Once completed, communities such as Ahenema Kokoben, Trede, Heman, Darko, Ampatia, Ampabame, Kotwi, Pakyi, Bebu, Brofoyedru, Bekwame, and surrounding areas would see significant improvements in power reliability.
The project scope includes the installation of 85 new high-tension poles, 11kV headgear, and the stringing of new conductors, among other materials.
