PURC expressed confidence that ECG’s board members would settle the GH¢5.8 million fine

The Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) is confident that the board members of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will comply with the payment of the GH¢5.8 million fine imposed on them.

The fine, imposed on Tuesday, April 16, by PURC, is a consequence of ECG’s failure to provide a load-shedding timetable following a series of power outages between January and March 2024.

Dr. Eric Kofi Obutey, the Director of Research and Corporate Affairs at PURC, expresses optimism that ECG’s board members will uphold their reputation and settle the fine before the May 30 deadline.

“We see noble people, people who are law-abiding, people who speak to the issues as they are, and will be bold to abide by the rules of the game and maybe make the payment. But if that is not done, I am sure the commissioners will come up with a new strategy and that, when we get to that point, we will communicate that to the public.”
