The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is contemplating disconnecting power supply to the Parliament of Ghana on Wednesday, February 21, over an unpaid debt exceeding GH₵23 million.
This action is part of the ongoing “Operation Zero Balance” initiative aimed at recovering outstanding debts from various customers.
The inclusion of Parliament in the disconnection targets has raised concerns given its crucial role in national governance.
Sources indicate that the accumulated debt poses a significant challenge for ECG’s operations and impairs its ability to meet the demands of power producers.
This potential move comes after a similar disconnection at Accra Academy Senior High School on February 19th, where power was cut due to an outstanding debt of GH¢400,000.
