The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has proposed an average reduction of 13 percent in electricity tariffs for residential consumers of electricity.
Consumers in the non-residential category will also see a 13 percent drop in tariffs.
This seem to be a fulfillment of President Akufo-Addo promise to reduce electricity tariffs which he described as then opposition leader as higher than rent.
Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta’s budget reading reminded of the hardship Ghanaians endured during the height of the power crisis between 2013 and 2015.
There are six customer categories; residential, non-residential, special load tariff (low voltage), special load tariff (medium voltage), special load tariff (high voltage) and high voltage mines.
The proposals granted High voltage mines the biggest reprieve with 21 percent. The other categories will see drops around 13 percent if the proposals are considered.
Consumers in the non-residential category will also see a 13 percent drop in tariffs.
