- ECG retrieves GH¢3 million owed by customers in the Western Region.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has retrieved GH¢3 million owed by customers in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis in the Western Region.
In an interview with the Ghanaian Times, the Western Regional Communication Officer of the ECG, Mr Benjamin Quarcoo, said John Bittar, a wood processing company, presented a cheque for GH¢1.3 million to defray its GH¢1.4 million debt. Mr Quarcoo noted that other customers, who could not agree on any repayment plan, had electricity to their facilities disconnected.
He said, “the team will go to all defaulting customers to recover their debts and check the integrity of their service meters to determine whether they are paying for the right amount of energy used.”
Mr Quarcoo explained that defaulting customers would either be required to pay on the spot, agree on a repayment debt schedule or have electricity to their facilities disconnected.
