The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is set to appear before the Energy Committee of Parliament today, Friday, May 16, 2025, to respond to growing concerns over its financial difficulties and ongoing power supply issues.
This follows recent revelations by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, who disclosed that the energy sector is grappling with a monthly funding shortfall of GHC2 billion-an issue largely attributed to ECG's inability to collect adequate revenue.
