The Kwabenakwa and Asonkore communities in Obuasi East Municipality of the Asante Region have regained electricity after a six-month blackout, thanks to the efforts of the Obuasi East Municipal Assembly. The assembly installed two high-capacity transformers to replace those damaged six months ago, a move that the Municipal Chief Executive, William Kofi Adzowu, highlighted as a necessary step to boost local economic growth and support micro-businesses.
Adzowu explained that the assembly used over GHC 250,000 from its internal funds to procure and install the new equipment, ensuring a long-term solution to the power crisis. The restoration of power has been warmly welcomed by residents, who expressed gratitude for the return of stable electricity. This development enables cold store operators and other electricity-dependent businesses to resume operations, improving the overall quality of life and security in Kwabenakwa and Asonkore.
