ECG issues a warning to defaulting customers

In a public notice, ECG stated that dedicated teams would be deployed across the country to identify customers engaged in illegal electricity connections, those who interfere with the revenue collection process, and individuals who restore their power supply without authorisation after being disconnected.

Customers with unpaid bills have been advised to settle their arrears before enforcement teams move in, or risk facing disconnection alongside additional reconnection charges.

The company also directed customers who cannot access their electricity bills to visit the nearest ECG office for assistance ahead of the exercise.

ECG payment options for consumers

For customers looking to clear their debts, ECG has provided several channels.

Payments can be made through the ECG Mobile App, available on the Google Play Store.

Consumers needing further guidance can call the company directly on 0302611611 or reach out via its official social media platforms.

The 19-day exercise reflects a broader push by ECG to close gaps in revenue collection, which remains central to the company's ability to purchase power, sustain distribution infrastructure and deliver reliable electricity supply to Ghanaians.

Illegal connections and power theft have continued to drive commercial losses in Ghana's electricity sector, complicating efforts to maintain consistent service.
