The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has announced new tariffs for electricity and water for the third quarter of 2024, effective from October 1.
The tariff for electricity has been increased by 3.02 per cent and that of water goes up by 1.86 per cent.
A statement issued by PURC to The Ghanaian Times, on September 28, explained that the adjustment was due to factors such as inflation, exchange rate fluctuations and price of LPG gas.
The commission said that Ghana's current economic challenges and the prevailing living conditions were carefully considered in arriving at the decision.
