The Acting Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Julius Kwame Kpekpena, has disclosed that the Company in July 2025, raked in a monthly revenue of GH¢1.74 billion, the highest in the Company’s history.
Tighter internal controls and revenue mobilisation reforms, according to the MD, contributed to this record collection.
Mr. Kpekpena made the disclosure when officials of ECG appeared before the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy on Friday, September 26, 2025.
He further disclosed that 202 out of 347 contracts that were deemed questionable have been terminated as part of the reforms being undertaken by the Company.
The Acting MD further noted that the Company had also reduced commission charges with its partner Hubtel from 3 per cent to 1.65 per cent.
He also explained that the ECG was not seeking an increase in electricity tariffs but rather an adjustment in the distribution service charge to support service delivery.
Also, more than 1,000 of the Company’s containers that were previously reported missing have been traced and relocated from the ports, said Mr. Kpekpene.
On his part, Emmanuel Kwesi Bedzrah, Chairman of Parliament’s Select Committee on Energy and Member of Parliament for Ho West, commended the ECG and the Volta River Authority (VRA) for their efforts to sustain power supply for residents and businesses.
He said the Committee would not act as an “armchair observer” but would continue to engage with agencies in the sector to understand their challenges and work with the relevant authorities to address them.
At the meeting, the VRA appealed to the Committee to support the Ministers of Energy and Finance in efforts to allow the Authority to manage at least 80 per cent of the country’s power generation market.
