TikToker blasts ECG over dumsor
ECG earlier announced a similar planned maintenance exercise, which was expected to cause power outages across the country on July 13, 2025.
This prompted many people to charge their electronic devices in anticipation of the power outage.

However, when the announced date arrived, there was no power cut.
As a result, Ghanaian TikToker Akosua Diqson expressed disappointment that ECG did not follow through with their earlier announcement of a nationwide loadshedding exercise.
In her complaint, Akosua sarcastically questioned whether the electricity company saw her as a toy to be played with.
She said she had been waiting all morning for the power to go off, as announced by ECG, but nothing had happened.
"ECG, do you see me as a toy? Someone who has announced that today, you would turn off the lights, since morning I have waited and you have failed to turn them off," she said in the video.
16 communities connected to the national grid
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that residents of Asikantia and 15 nearby communities in the Ahafo Ano South West District of the Ashanti Region received electricity for the first time.
A video showing the residents jubilating after being connected to the national electricity grid went viral on social media.
Many Ghanaians were baffled that some communities in Ghana still had no access to electricity.
