Consumers of electricity in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region have staged a protest against the Electricity Company of Ghana over what they describe as outrageous monthly tariffs. Several affected customers who joined in the demonstration on Wednesday said the Denu District of ECG is billing them beyond their consumption and urged the company to review its billing mechanisms. The affected customers, most of whom are non-commercial consumer households, have outstanding bills ranging from GH₵ 2000 to GH₵ 10,000. Others who run shops have even more to pay, with some estimated bills as high as GH₵19,000 and GH₵40,000. These staggering amounts, according to them, are way above their consumption.
