According to ECG officials,only 40 percent of consumers in the region pay their bills regularly

ECG kick starts mass disconnection exercise in Ashanti Region
The Electricity Company of Ghana has cut power
supply to about 170 houses and institutions under
the Suame District of the company in Kumasi. This
forms part of a mass disconnection exercise the
ECG is embarking on to retrieve all the debts owed
by customers.

TV3’s Benjamin Aidoo reports ECG officials as
saying that only 40 percent of consumers in the
region pay their bills regularly. The exercise
took place in areas such as Bantama, Abrepo
junction, Suame, Kropo, Breman, Bohyen and other
places located in Suame district of ECG.

Those engaged in illegal connections and houses
using two phases were all disconnected. The
exercise is expected to be carried out in other
parts of the region to enable the company retrieve
their cash from consumers. Others took advantage
of the situation to pay their bills to avoid being
disconnected.

The public relations manager of the Electricity
Company of Ghana, Ashanti region, Erasmus Kyere
Baidoo, told TV3 that his outfit is intensifying
its revenue collection. ‘’A lot of public
institutions owe us and they are not making any
efforts to pay for what they have consumed and
that is putting a lot of stress and strain on the
company’’, he complained.

He served notice that ECG is taking stringent
measures to ensure full payment of all outstanding
debts ‘’and we are not sparing anybody in this
region”.

Several parts of the city have lately being
witnessing erratic power supply, which in some
instances lasted for days. He said they have some
distribution and transmission challenges that are
being addressed. He said all things being equal,
the frequent power outages in most parts of the
region will cease by the first week of March.
