The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has initiated a training program for its control engineers and system operators to ensure they are well-prepared to manage any emergencies during and after the December elections.
Hosted by the Ashanti Sub-Transmission Region at the Boadi Regional Office in Kumasi, this three-day in-house capacity-building workshop aims to equip participants with the skills and confidence necessary to perform their duties effectively in crisis situations.
The program featured intensive training sessions, where participants, primarily controllers and system operators, were divided into smaller groups for focused learning.
Facilitator Ing. Peter Fletcher emphasized ECG’s commitment to delivering quality, safe, and reliable electricity, stating, “With this training and preparations underway, ECG assures the general public that, as a stakeholder in the socioeconomic development of Ghana, it is committed to providing quality, safe, and reliable electricity. It stands ready to ensure supply reliability to meet all energy needs,” the Facilitator, Ing Peter Fletcher said.
Among the facilitators were Ing. Kurt Festus Plange, the General Manager for the region, and Ing. Christopher Anafo, Manager for Protection and Control of Ashanti Sub-Transmission, who both contributed to the program’s instruction.
This rigorous training initiative is designed to position ECG staff to effectively support electricity supply during the upcoming elections.
