The Minister of Energy has outlined a plan to tackle the maintenance issues facing the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). Responding to an MP’s query about ECG’s premises maintenance, the minister highlighted the need to address the meter system. Out of ECG’s 5.2 million meters, 4.8 million are active, while 300,000 meters are non-functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister attributed the current difficulties in the collection process to the lack of maintenance of non-functional meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To resolve this issue, he proposed making meters available for purchase by individuals in need, which can then be installed by an electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, a new code system will enable customers to renew their meters easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister emphasized that making meters affordable will likely reduce their prices, as many individuals have found them too expensive to purchase.
