West African electrical grid maintenance outages

Overview

Utility companies across West Africa have announced scheduled power outages to facilitate infrastructure maintenance and grid modernization.

In early September 2026, the Electricity Company of Ghana announced planned and emergency maintenance affecting parts of Accra, Tema, and the Ashanti Region to address technical challenges. Simultaneously, Nigeria’s Abuja Electricity Distribution Company scheduled temporary cuts in the Maitama district for network rehabilitation, including transformer replacements and line repairs.

By late September 2026, the Compagnie Ivoirienne d'Électricité announced disruptions in several Abidjan districts, such as Koumassi and the Abobo-Anyama axis. These outages are part of a broader 700 billion FCFA investment plan led by CI-Energies to modernize the national energy infrastructure.
