The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has underscored the importance of rigorous testing and quality standards for energy meters in Ghana.

During a working visit to the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) Energy Meter Testing Laboratory, Dr. Jinapor was accompanied by the Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Ms. Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie, and officials from the Ministry.

Speaking on the visit, the Minister noted that the team had the opportunity to observe firsthand the meticulous processes involved in testing energy meters to ensure their accuracy, safety, and reliability.

He described the level of professionalism and precision demonstrated by the technical team as “impressive and reassuring.”

Dr. Jinapor emphasised that quality standards are more than just technical requirements; they form the foundation of trust and fairness between utility companies and consumers.

“Accurate and reliable meters are essential to protecting consumers and ensuring that they are billed correctly for the electricity they use,” he said.

He further highlighted the need for strong collaboration between regulatory and technical institutions.

“Our collective efforts to uphold high standards safeguard consumers and strengthen confidence in our energy systems. It is only through coordination and diligence that we can maintain a reliable and trustworthy electricity supply for all Ghanaians,” Dr. Jinapor added.
