The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has reported a notable improvement in revenue collection by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).<\/p>\n
According to him, the company has accrued GHc1.6 billion in the first half of 2025, against a projected target of GHc2.5 billion<\/p>\n
Responding to questions on the floor of Parliament last week, John Jinapor described the development as a significant improvement.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the month [June 2025], ECG was able to raise about GHc1.6 billion, which is a remarkable improvement, even though the target ought to be GHc 2.5 billion. If you do a year-on-year comparison, this month [June] of 2025 as compared to the same month in 2024, there\u2019s a remarkable improvement in terms of the revenue collection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Minister for Energy and Green Transition also announced plans to present a legislative instrument to Parliament aimed at introducing stricter punitive measures against individuals who illegally install electricity meters for consumers.<\/p>\n
The Minister stated that although some offenders have already been arrested and prosecuted, the existing sanctions have not proven sufficiently deterrent.<\/p>\n
He stressed the need for stronger penalties to curb the practice.<\/p>\n
