The Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) says it will review proposals from both the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Ghana Water Company (GWCL) for a possible increase in utility tariffs in the country.
The Commission said the two utility companies have both made a strong case for a new tariff regime that will cover their operational cost.
Head of Public Relations and External Affairs at PURC, Bawah Munkaila said the Board of the PURC will meet the utility providers before making a decision.

“It is now left to the PURC to analyse and go through the necessary processes in arriving at tariffs that we think are realistic,” he said as quoted by citinewsroom.
The last increment in utility tariffs was in October 2019.
This request for increment in utility tariffs comes at the back of erratic power supply in Ghana.
