The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has commenced a nationwide meter audit starting from February 1, which will extend throughout the year.

This audit will entail a thorough examination of both the front and back of all post-paid and prepaid meters to ensure their integrity within the operational areas of the ECG.

Highlighting its authority under the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission's LI 2413 (2020), the ECG emphasized that it possesses the mandate to access all its installations anywhere and at any time.

“Therefore, any attempt to physically prevent or deliberately frustrate ECG teams to assess your assigned meter will lead to the disconnection of the service to your house," the ECG noted in its circular.

To guarantee the credibility of ECG teams visiting customer premises during the nationwide meter audit, the company has urged customers to inspect the identification cards of the ECG personnel.

Customers are encouraged to remain vigilant to avoid encounters with impostors and to ensure that they are dealing with authorized ECG representatives during the audit process.
