ECG Cuts Power Supply To GBC And GWCL Over Unpaid Bills

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has disconnected Ghana Water Limited (GWL) from the national power grid due to an outstanding debt of GH¢999.6 million. The move forms part of ECG’s ongoing nationwide revenue mobilisation and disconnection exercise.

The disconnection occurred on Tuesday, June 17, as ECG’s task force ramped up efforts to recover debts owed by both state institutions and private entities.

ECG officials explained that the exercise, which targets indebted public institutions, is aimed at addressing long-standing issues of non-payment and ensuring the financial health of the country’s power sector.

Following the action at GWL, the task force proceeded to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), which was also disconnected over unpaid arrears amounting to GH¢3,153,484.98.

According to ECG, GBC had failed to honour a previously agreed structured payment plan, prompting the disconnection.
