In Ghana, electricity costs will increase in February, according to a statement by Ishmael Edjekumhene, chairman of the technical subcommittee of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission of Ghana (PURC).
“The official announcement is expected soon to take effect from February,” he said on a local radio.
In March 2018, the last review recorded a reduction in electricity rates ranging from 17.5% to 30%. But the Ghana Electricity Company (ECG) later undertook several works especially in the Ashanti region where it spent about 120 million USD.
As a reminder, the ECG is about to sell its distribution business to the Philippine consortium Meralco in February.
