The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is set to commence the 'No Free Consumption' operation on Thursday, February 1, targeting customers and electricity users who are consuming power without payment.

The initiative involves ECG field teams updating customer details, including phone numbers and GPS addresses, collecting arrears, and disconnecting services for non-payment.

This enforcement, effective today, will run until Thursday, February 15, 2024.

The External Relations Officer of ECG, Laila Abubakar, issued a warning of possible prosecution for customers engaging in this unauthorized consumption.

“We have done targeted mapping of where these pay points are. And we are going to use the next two weeks to fish out these people who are using electricity without paying anything to us.

“We found them last year and tried to regularise them and they have gone back to their old ways. We now have a new directorate which is the prosecution directorate which is going to take on a lot of companies and individuals who have refused to stick to the ethos of using power and paying for power. For the next 12 months to come we have various revenue mobilisations that are going to happen,” he said.
