Rapid urban expansion outpacing Ghana’s electricity infrastructure – Electrical engineer warns
Electrical Engineer Hesford Quaye-Larbi has warned that rapid urban expansion is placing severe pressure on the country’s electricity infrastructure, contributing to overloaded transformers, technical losses, and an unreliable power supply.
He explained that electricity infrastructure is usually designed based on the projected power demand within a particular area.
According to him, supplying electricity to customers far from existing transformers places pressure on the distribution network and often results in low voltage.
