The new utility service tariffs announced by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission begins today, Thursday, September 1, 2022.
The new tariffs include an increase of 27.15% in electricity and 21.55% in water.
Tariffs were drastically increased at the request of utility service providers in order to help them recover and sustain their operational costs.
Ghanaians disagreed with these measures claiming that, the current economic state of the country will make it difficult to pay.
The General Manager in charge of External Communications for the Electricity Company of Ghana, Mr. Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku, in an interview with Citi News said,
“I think that Ghanaians should understand and help us. The tides in the current economy are not hidden. We know that globally, we have all been affected, so they need to support the company.”
