The Sunyani Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) has retrieved GH₵14 million in outstanding debts from customers in a revenue mobilisation and loss control exercise in the area.

Mr Eugene Odoi Addo, the Sunyani Area Manager of NEDCo, who disclosed this, said the exercise lasted for two weeks and targeted GH₵20 million in outstanding electricity bills from the customers.

In an interview with the media in Sunyani, the Area Manager described the exercise as successful, saying “our revenue mobilisation and loss control team managed to recover significant arrears from our debtors.”

He explained that the exercise was in line with NEDCo’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial position and reduce power losses, indicating that the company would continue to “exert pressure on defaulting customers”.

Mr Addo urged customers to pay their bills regularly and promptly to receive uninterrupted power supply and also enabled the company to improve its operations, saying NEDCo would conduct a similar exercise before the end of the year.
