The Executive Secretary of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), Dr. Shafic Suleman, on April 14, 2025, visited the Western Regional office of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in Takoradi to deepen collaboration between the Commission and the service provider.
The meeting aimed to familiarize themselves with ECG’s operations in the region and strengthen the relationship between PURC and ECG at the regional level.
Dr. Suleman commended ECG’s regional team for their hard work but expressed concerns about maintaining stable power in the region.
“We need to find a way to ensure that we improve our network to have stable power. I have to push ECG because consumer payment is based on performance (Quality of Service), and that is the only way to satisfy the consumer,” he added.
The Regional General Manager of ECG, Ing. Ofori, raised critical points, including Revenue Mobilization, Network Improvement, and Stable Power Supply. Ing. Ofori highlighted challenges such as power theft, illegal connections, proliferation of fake meters, and aging infrastructure.
He assured PURC and Dr. Suleman of ECG’s commitment to improve performance and recognize the importance of stable power for consumers.
In his closing remarks, Dr. Suleman emphasized the importance of quality service and directed ECG to put in place measures to achieve targets and promote closer collaboration with PURC.
He expressed appreciation to the entire management of the ECG Western Regional office for their time and efforts.
