The government managed to secure a tariff reduction for Ghanaians earlier this year when the latest tariff review was carried out by the Public Utilities and Regulatory Commission (PURC), but that relief could prove to be shortlived and indeed, more damaging in the long run.
In the latest tariff review process, which is currently ongoing between the PURC and stakeholders in the sector including ECG, VRA, GRIDco and others, the national power distributor is asking for an increase in tariffs by as much as 38%.
