Consumers of electricity have been encouraged to practice electricity conservation in order to reduce the impact of the recent hikes in electricity tariff.
Managing Director of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Mr Samuel Dubik Masubir Mahama Esq. gave the advice when he engaged a section of Ghanaian journalists in Somanya in the Eastern Region.
He advised consumers to use electricity wisely by turning off some electrical appliances and gadgets if they are not using them in order to reduce electricity consumption.
“I have to let every Ghanaian on the network of ECG know that you are the controller of your faith concerning the amount you pay. Energy conservation should be number one on your heart. If you conserve energy, you pay less, but if you are reckless, you will pay more.
“In as much as there has been an increment your usage of electricity might not make you feel the increment, so the onus is on all of us to do the right thing as to conserve energy at all material times,” he advised.
The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission PURC recently announced 27.15 % hike in electricity tariff effective 1st September 2022.
