I would like to know why in Accra, Ghana the power go out so much and stay off sometimes for a most a week at a time ?

Maybe because the infrastructure is so dilapidated.

Call the phone number on the bill you get, ask them. This should be their website:


Electricity Company of Ghana > Home (http://www.ecgonline.info/ecgweb/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx)

See FAQ Question # 15 FAQ's (http://www.ecgonline.info/ecgweb/FAQs/tabid/58/Default.aspx) Stan hit the nail on the head.

Probably over construction and the utility company not keeping up with the current power needs

Damn, you are resourceful TK.
