The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has dismissed allegations that the ongoing installation of new prepaid metres is an attempt to overcharge customers.
According to the company, these new metres are designed to accurately reflect energy consumption levels, and customers should not be concerned about being overbilled.
Speaking at the launch of the Metre Replacement Exercise in Accra East, the Managing Director of ECG, Samuel Dubik Mahama, emphasized the importance of this initiative as part of the company’s Loss Reduction Programme (LRP).
The programme aims to install smart metres that will enhance energy accounting and improve the overall efficiency of electricity distribution.
He assured the public that the replacement of these meters is not a scheme to cheat anyone.
Mahama also highlighted that accurate revenue generation is essential for sustaining the energy sector, urging the public not to politicize the exercise.
