As it prepares to launch another national revenue mobilization initiative, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has urged all of its customers to pay their bills on time to prevent disconnection.
The nationwide revenue mobilization effort will last for five days, from May 29 to June 2 (Monday through Friday). The exercise will target “all categories of customers in arrears, including State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and will be monitored by special teams who will apprehend and prosecute customers who attempt to interfere with the exercise, and/or undertake illegal self-reconnection after disconnection,” the ECG disclosed in a statement on Tuesday, May 23.
In accordance with this, the Company stated that “ECG shall operate with a lean staff pool who will provide essential services to customers during the revenue mobilisation period to enable total participation by top management and staff.”
Because of this, ECG urged “all customers in arrears to pay their bills now to avoid disconnection and payment of reconnection fees.”
The Company started a month-long drive that lasted from March through April.
Samuel Mahama, the company’s managing director, claims that during its previous revenue mobilization push, they were able to recover about Gh3.1 billion out of the total Gh5.7 billion in debt that consumers held.
