ECG generated GH¢1.6 billion in first half of 2025 - John Jinapor
Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor
The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has announced that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) collected GH¢1.6 billion in revenue during the first six months of 2025.
Addressing Parliament on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Jinapor described the figure as a clear improvement in ECG’s performance, although it fell short of the GH¢2.5 billion revenue target set for the period.
He noted that compared to the same period in 2024, the increase is significant.
“In June alone, ECG generated about GH¢1.6 billion, which reflects a strong year-on-year improvement in revenue collection,” he said.
The minister also announced plans to introduce a new legislative instrument in Parliament to enforce stricter penalties against individuals involved in the illegal installation of electricity meters.
Although some culprits have already faced arrest and prosecution, he believes the current sanctions are not harsh enough to deter such unlawful acts.
He stressed the urgency of implementing more severe punishments to help eliminate the practice.
