Amid growing public concern over surging electricity bills, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has provided clarity on the main contributors: approved tariffs, household energy habits, inefficient appliances, and poor electrical installations—not meter malfunction.

Dr. Ayiku explained: “Sometimes we blame the meters, but often our own […]
