ECG Battling With Transformer Theft In Afienya, Prampram Areas | Social

She explained that the thieves normally operated in the night, adding that these criminals come with vehicles in the night, plunge the area into darkness, and carry the transformer away.

"In some instances, they push the transformers down from the pole, which damages the transformer," she said

The Tema ECG PRO said the installations under threat were mainly the 100KVA and 200KVA capacity transformers.

According to her each of the 100KVA cost about GH c 50,000. 00 while a 200KVA transformer was estimated at about GH c 69,000.00

She therefore pleaded with the public to report anyone who tampers with any of ECG's installations.

Meanwhile, the company she said has since reported the incident to the police and has also put measures in place to prevent further theft to installations.
