Transaction advisor's report on ECG private sector participation, due first week of October

The scope of private sector participation in the operations of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is expected to be determined after the transaction advisor which has been engaged by the government submits its report in the first week of October 2026, Spokesperson and Head of Communications at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, Richmond Rockson has said.

The transaction advisor's report is expected to provide the basis for further discussions on the scope of private sector participation and whether ECG will retain control of power distribution.

He said the government had not yet decided whether the proposed private sector arrangement would cover the bulk supply point, where electricity leaves the national grid operator, GRIDCo, before being supplied to ECG for distribution.
