Acting Managing Director Mr. Julius Kpekpena of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) stated that the company’s July 2025 revenue of GH¢1.74 billion was the greatest monthly revenue in the company’s history.
He made this statement during the company’s Friday, September 26, 2025, appearance before the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy.
“Tighter internal controls and revenue mobilisation reforms led to the record collection,” he said.
According to Mr. Kpekpena, ECG had terminated 202 of 347 contracts that were considered problematic as part of the reforms.
Additionally, he claimed, the company had lowered its commission fees with its partner Hubtel from 3% to 1.65%.
Mr. Kpekpena clarified that in order to assist service delivery, ECG was requesting a change in the distribution service charge rather than an increase in electricity rates.
He added that the business has located and moved over 1,000 containers that had been reported missing from the ports in the past.
Mr. Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzra, the member of parliament for Ho West and chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, praised the Volta River Authority (VRA) and ECG for their efforts to maintain the power supply.
He stated that rather than playing the role of an “armchair observer”, the Committee would keep interacting with agencies in the industry to learn about their problems and collaborate with the appropriate authorities to resolve them.
During the meeting, the VRA urged the Committee to back the Energy and Finance Ministers in their attempts to give the Authority control over at least 80% of the nation’s power generation market.
