The Ashanti Sub-transmission team of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has conducted free but comprehensive maintenance work on a Kwame Nkrumah University of Science substation.
The substation, until this gesture from ECG, has not seen any maintenance in over 40 years.
The maintenance works which took place on Friday, September 20, 2024, near the Unity Hall, also saw engineers from ECG installing a battery and a rectifier to enhance protection, control, and also indication systems of the substation.
General Manager of Ashanti Sub-Transmission, Ing. Peter Fletcher, assured that “This was merely the beginning of the positive initiatives ECG has planned for the university.”
According to him, the gesture, which forms part of ECG’s corporate social responsibility plans, was to reciprocate training; the majority of ECG engineers received KNUST.
"As a corporate citizen, ECG has realized that about 85 percent of its engineers and non-engineers are being trained by the institution.”
Meanwhile, the Ashanti East and South line maintenance teams seized the opportunity to fortify the network leading to the substation as jumpers on the line were either repaired or reinforced.
