He alleged that the situation feels like a deliberate attempt by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to financially suffocate consumers.
Making a case for himself, he explained that he does not use high-energy-consuming appliances in his home. Despite this, he claims his prepaid electricity credits deplete unusually fast whenever he tops up.
According to him, he now spends more than GH¢200 on electricity every week, a development he describes as unprecedented.

Ghanaian woman bashes ECG in viral video
A frustrated and emotional young woman has voiced concerns over the excessive electricity bills she says she has been paying since the installation of a new prepaid meter.
According to her, the situation has become unbearable and is placing a serious strain on her finances.
She explained that ever since the new prepaid meter was installed, the cost of electricity consumption has skyrocketed, despite her minimal use of power-intensive appliances.
She described the bills as “neck-breaking", adding that she struggled to understand why her credit runs out so quickly when she barely uses heavy electrical gadgets.
Taking to her TikTok channel to vent her spleen, she said:
"This thing is becoming too much to bear. The issue of skyrocketing electricity bills is just too much. GH¢100 worth of power only lasts just 24 hours, and this is unbearable."
“I bought GH¢60 worth of electric power this dawn, and by the close of the day, it had run out. I don’t use my air conditioner, and I only use one fridge, so I don’t understand why the power runs out so fast."
“I have to buy GH¢100 worth of power each blessed day, and this is too expensive. What is happening?”
