PUWU urges government to retain public ownership of ECG, NEDCo  

The Union said operational and financial challenges confronting the two state-owned electricity distribution companies could be addressed through internal reforms rather than private sector participation.

The statement said the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition had engaged stakeholders, including PUWU, and requested the union to submit alternative proposals to address challenges facing ECG and NEDCo.

The Public Utilities Workers Union (PUWU) has urged the government to retain public ownership of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) while pursuing reforms to improve their performance.
