E.C.G to Maximize Revenue Collection and Reduce Energy Losses in the System

The Management of ECG have put in place measures to maximize revenue collection and reduce losses to ensure efficiency in the distribution of electricity to customers. 

They include the installation of a
networking system, the automated equipment which enables staff to stay
in the office to monitor meter reading or faults and the prosecution
of defaulters. 

The Managing Director of ECG, Reverend William Hutton Mensah, at a News briefing in Takoradi said the automated equipment which is in operation would be extended to the whole country. 

The equipment will also be installed in places that have high electricity
consumption such as hotels and restaurants. 

Rev. Mensah admonished ECG customers to endeavour to pay their bills promptly to enable the company to generate revenue to undertake its numerous projects. 

He enumerated ongoing projects in the region as the expansion and
rehabilitation of primary sub-stations in parts of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis, notably the Ghacem-Railway area, Anaji, Apowa, Bogoso, Enchi, Sefwi Juaboso, Asankragua, Esiama, Agona Nkwanta and Shama. 

Rev. Mensah said the Public Utility Regulatory Commission has charged the ECG to achieve a bench mark reduction of 21 percent, therefore, there is the need to work hard to achieve that. 

He appealed to the public to expose people who indulge in illegal connection of electricity for them to face the law, saying the identity of informants will be protected and rewarded.
