The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Masubir Mahama, has urged Ghanaians to cooperate with staff installing new smart meters as part of the company’s ongoing project.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Tuesday, Mr. Mahama said the staff are there to ensure that the work is done.
“There is no need to confront or obstruct our staff as they are all there to work. I urge all Ghanaians to comply with our team as they install the new smart prepaid meters” he appealed.
He further warned that, anyone who tampers with our new smart meters will be dealt with decisively.
This comes as ECG undertakes a major project to replace outdated and malfunctioning electricity meters in the Accra East region with advanced Smart MMS-compliant prepaid meters.
The initiative, scheduled from September 2 to September 30, 2024, is part of ECG’s broader strategy to modernize its metering system and ensure accurate revenue collection.
The project targets key operational districts, including Makola, Teshie, Legon, Roman Ridge, Kwabenya, Mampong, Dodowa, and Adentan, with a goal of replacing 250,000 meters.
The new Smart MMS-compliant prepaid meters are designed to offer increased reliability and efficiency.
Customers will have the convenience of topping up their credits remotely using the ECG Power App or a short code (*226#), making it easier to manage electricity consumption.
Mr. Mahama expressed confidence in the success of the project.
“We are confident of replacing almost all post-paid meters with new smart prepaid meters across the country” he added.
He therefore said this upgrade is part of ECG’s Loss Reduction Project (LRP), which aims to decrease technical and commercial losses and enhance overall operational efficiency.
