The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has assured the public that its engineers are working diligently to restore power following a heavy rainstorm on Thursday, March 13, 2025, which caused outages in parts of Accra and nearby areas.
In a statement, ECG said, “The heavy rainstorm that hit Accra and its environs this evening has caused some outages within our network. ECG wishes to assure all affected customers that our engineers are working assiduously to repair the faults and restore power supply. The inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.”
The storm brought heavy rainfall, leading to flooding along parts of the N1 Highway, particularly at the Ofankor Barrier stretch.
This resulted in severe traffic congestion, leaving many pedestrians stranded and motorists struggling to navigate the waterlogged roads.
Some drivers attempted to reverse their vehicles near the Neoplan Station to avoid getting stuck, but others were less fortunate, with several cars becoming completely submerged in floodwaters.
Shiashie was among the hardest-hit areas, with streets, homes, and businesses left underwater.
