ELECTRICITY COMPANY OF GHANA LOSES GH¢25MILLION WHENEVER IT RAINS – Managing Director Reveals

The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama, has revealed the impact of weather conditions and seasonality on electricity sales and revenue.

According to him, ECG loses about GH¢25 million whenever it rains in any part of the country since consumption tends to decrease when the weather is cold.

Mr Mahama made this revelation while discussing the topic “The Big Power Debate: The High Cost of Keeping the Lights On” on JoyNews’ PM Express.

“Before the rainy season set in, ECG was averaging between GH¢40 to GH¢50 million a day. Now any day that you see rain, note that we’re down by GH¢25 million,” he told host Evans Mensah on Monday.

Noting that the country has been experiencing a rainy season for an extended period this year, Mr Mahama said he becomes sad whenever he sees the rain.
