ECG blocks over 15,000 Meters in Nsawam and Amasaman
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has reportedly blocked more than 15,000 electricity meters in the Nsawam and Amasaman areas as part of a revenue assurance exercise.
The action, carried out over the past two weeks by ECG’s project unit, targeted meters believed to have been acquired outside the company’s approved procedures. The move aims to address revenue losses caused by unapproved or improperly documented meter installations.
Affected customers have been instructed to report to ECG’s project unit office behind the VVIP bus terminal at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra’s Central Business District. Due to the blockage, customers are unable to top up their credit once the existing balance runs out, causing significant inconvenience.
To have their meters restored, customers are required to pay a combination of administrative and processing fees:
- Administrative charge: GH¢600
- Application fee: GH¢100
- Quotation fee: GH¢1,353.50
This brings the total reconnection cost to approximately GH¢2,053.60 per customer.
ECG described the exercise as part of its broader efforts to recover lost revenue and enforce compliance with operational guidelines. The company has indicated it will continue monitoring and enforcing regulations to prevent further irregularities in meter acquisition and usage.
