- ECG disconnects at least 50 households for illegal connections
- Laments the impact on its operations
At least 50 households in Kasoa, Central Region, have been disconnected from the national grid by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) as part of the state-owned utility’s campaign against electricity theft.
In an interview, the Revenue Protection Manager for the Central Region, Engineer Ebenezer Yaw Fiadoh, has explained the implications of power theft on the operations of the ECG.
“This is affecting our revenue, making it difficult to manage the company. If we are denied this revenue, then it affects our operations in the first place and the workers because we are paid out of this revenue. I will blame the landlords because the properties belong to them, and they should also bear in mind that there is a law that says that if they don’t pay, we can take you to court and also be sued.” Engr. Fiadoh said.
The ECG has urged consumers to desist from illegally connecting to its network for their safety and the integrity of the network.
