The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in July 2025 raised a total revenue of GH¢1.74 billion, the highest monthly revenue in the company’s history, according to the Acting Managing Director of ECG, Mr Julius Kpekpena.
He said this when officials of the company appeared before the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy on Friday, September 26, 2025.
He said the record collection was the result of reforms in revenue mobilisation and tighter internal controls.
As part of the reforms, Mr Kpekpena told the Committee that ECG had terminated 202 out of 347 contracts that were deemed questionable. He said the company had also reduced commission charges with its partner Hubtel from 3 per cent to 1.65 per cent.
Mr Kpekpena explained that ECG was not seeking an increase in electricity tariffs but rather an adjustment in the distribution service charge to support service delivery.
He further confirmed that the company had traced and relocated more than 1,000 containers that were previously reported missing from the ports.
The Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy and Member of Parliament for Ho West, Mr Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzra, commended ECG and the Volta River Authority (VRA) for their efforts to sustain power supply.
He said the Committee would not act as an “armchair observer” but would continue to engage with agencies in the sector to understand their challenges and work with the relevant authorities to address them.
At the meeting, the VRA appealed to the Committee to support the Ministers of Energy and Finance in efforts to allow the Authority to manage at least 80 per cent of the country’s power generation market.
