Wednesday morning's heavy rainfall led to the flooding of seven substations operated by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) across parts of the Greater Accra Region.
According to a source at ECG, these substations must undergo a thorough drying process before they can be safely activated to supply electricity to the affected areas.
The flooding poses a potential risk to power supply in various parts of the Greater Accra Region, the source further explained.
