ECG May Disconnect Power to Parliament Over GH₵23M Debt

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is contemplating cutting off power to the Parliament of Ghana on Wednesday, February 21, as part of its efforts under the “Operation Zero Balance” initiative. This action is prompted by an outstanding debt exceeding GH₵23 million.

The inclusion of Parliament in the disconnection list has raised concerns given its pivotal role in national governance.

Sources reveal that the accumulated debt poses a significant challenge to ECG’s operations, hindering its ability to meet power producers’ demands.

This potential move follows a recent disconnection at Accra Academy Senior High School on February 19th, where power was cut due to an outstanding debt of GH¢400,000.
