The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has seen a significant increase in its average monthly revenue, rising to GH¢1.7 billion in 2025 from GH¢900 million in 2024—an improvement of nearly 90 percent.
Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Ato Baah Forson, disclosed this while presenting the 2026 Budget and Economic Statement on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, November 13, 2025. He attributed the growth to full compliance with the Cash Waterfall Mechanism (CWM), which was introduced to receive revenue from electricity sales and distribute it fairly among players in the value chain.
Minister Forson, who beamed with smiles throughout the budget presentation, remarked, “This is real progress toward a financially viable and transparent power sector that supports growth without burdening the taxpayer.”
In 2023, ECG rolled out cashless transactions for all payments and launched the ECG PowerApp, enabling customers to purchase credit digitally. More recently, the company has undertaken a series of revenue mobilisation exercises, including the ongoing “Operation All Must Pay.”
