The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced it will be conducting a nationwide meter audit effective February 1. The exercise will run throughout the year.

According to them, the audit will involve a comprehensive examination of both the front and back of all post-paid and prepaid meters to verify their integrity within the operational areas of the ECG.

Emphasising their authority under the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission's LI 2413 (2020), the ECG stated that they have the mandate to access all their 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.”

To ensure the credibility of ECG teams visiting customer premises, the company encouraged customers to inspect the identification cards of the ECG personnel and remain vigilant to avoid encounters with imposters.
