Dr.
Eric Kofi Obutey, Director of Research and Corporate Affairs at the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), has defended its recent tariff adjustments, stating that they were not approved at the expense of consumers.
This follows the PURC's announcement of a 14.75% upward adjustment in average end-user electricity tariffs and a 4.02% increase in water tariffs across all consumer categories.
The revision comes under the Commission's quarterly tariff review process for the first and second quarters of 2025.
