The Ashanti West Regional office of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) intends to spend nearly GH¢29.7 million on projects to improve system reliability and enhance operational efficiency.
Among the projects would be the creation of a new 11 kv (kilovolts) feeder from the Kumasi Asekyem Primary Substation to relieve the 11kv Kokoben and Ampabame feeders which would serve customers around Kokoben, Trede, Heman, Darko, Ampatia and surrounding areas.
Work has already commenced on this project and 20 per cent completed.
The General Manager of the Ashanti West ECG, Mr George Amoah, mentioned these at a media engagement on Wednesday said similarly, creation of two 11kv feeders from the Afari Primary Substation to relieve the existing 11kv feeders, yet to start would benefit customers within Twedie, Foase, Sepaase, Afari, Nkawie, Toase and surrounding areas.
