Ghana’s Energy Commission, the regulator for electricity and natural gas is set to revolutionize the certification process for electricians by introducing a mobile app to replace traditional paper documentation.
This move is aimed at enhancing efficiency, safety, and transparency in the electrical industry.
Effective June 1, 2025, electricians will use the mobile app to certify their work, marking a significant shift away from paper-based documentation.
The Director for Electricity and Natural Gas at the Energy Commission, Mr. Anthony C. Bleboo, revealed at the 22nd award ceremony for Certified Electrical Wiring Professionals in Accra on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, that the Installation Completion Certificate Mobile App (ICCAPP) will streamline the certification process, reduce costs, and increase accessibility.
The new mobile app, Installation Completion Certificate Mobile App (ICCAPP), will revolutionize the way the Energy Commission tracks and monitors electrical work in Ghana.
By utilizing this app, the Commission will be able to ensure compliance with safety standards more effectively, promoting a safer and more efficient electrical industry.
ICCAPP replaces the traditional paper-based documentation, streamlining the process for electricians, inspectors, and facility owners.
With the App, electricians can input wiring details, choose an inspector, and submit completion certificates. The app generates a unique token, accessible to authorized personnel, ensuring secure and reliable data storage.
Mr. Bleboo revealed that the ICCAPP mobile app has gained significant traction since its pilot launch in November 2024, with around 21,000 practitioners embracing the platform, demonstrating its potential to transform the electrical industry
“This significant uptake demonstrates the strong adoption and effectiveness of the ICCAPP system,’’ he said.
“Building on this success, we’re now poised for full implementation. Starting June 1, 2025, facility owners will no longer need to submit paper-based Installation Completion Certificates to distribution utilities for electricity network connection. Instead, they’ll use the token generated by ICCAPP,” he concluded.
