The Energy Committee of Parliament today, May 16, is expected to have an interaction with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) over the recent fluctuation of power and the company's financial challenges.This was revealed by the Chairman of the Energy Committee of Parliament, Emmanuel Bedzrah, during an interview on Citi News on Friday.According to him, the meeting will serve as an avenue for both parties to collaborate, strategize, and set a clear vision for the energy sector.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, revealed that the energy sector loses GHS2 billion monthly due to ECG's inability to retrieve money owed by its customers.“We will be looking at their work, plan, and vision for the sector. They are the distributors of power. Currently, we are meeting with the generators, and we met with the transmitters yesterday. Everybody knows it is ECG that brings power into their homes. So, they should come and tell us, why we are not getting power in our homes.
“The generators say they have enough generating capacity and that the problem will have to do with financing, ECG is the final distributor who receives finance from customers and pays it to the others so they should come and tell us what their problem is,” he stated.The ECG is expected to provide explanations for the missing containers scandal.
In recent times, major parts of the country have been experiencing intermittent power outages. This has prompted calls by members of the general public for immediate fixing by the government.
