The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has cautioned district managers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (Electricity Company of Ghana) to improve their performance, warning that persistent poor service delivery could trigger significant changes within the organisation.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the Minister expressed concern over delays in restoring power in some parts of the country, describing the situation as worrying.

He said some district offices were failing to meet expectations, particularly in responding promptly to customers affected by outages.

Mr. Jinapor disclosed that he has instructed the Managing Director of ECG to conduct an internal review in the affected districts to identify operational lapses and address them urgently.

According to him, the review is expected to focus on improving efficiency and ensuring faster response times whenever there are disruptions in electricity supply.

His comments follow increasing complaints from consumers in some areas who say faults and outages take too long to be resolved after being reported.

“There are some negative developments… I also get reports of where, in some particular districts, there is lethargy. The level of responsiveness is not encouraging,” he said.

He stressed that while ECG is generally performing well, certain districts are underperforming, a situation he is not satisfied with.

“Generally, I know you are doing a good job, but there are some isolated cases where I must be frank. As a Minister, I am not happy, and I have directed your MD to do some exercise there,” he stated.

Mr. Jinapor warned that if the situation does not improve, a shake-up within the company may become necessary.

“If it means that we should do a shake-up like any other organisation, we would have to do a shake-up. But let’s not get there. You have a duty; you have your work cut out for you, so please let’s do that,” he added.
