“The commission, in their decision today at 6pm reviewed upward the average end-user tariff for electricity by 14.75 per cent and also 4.02 per cent upward for water supply across board for all category of consumers,” he stated.

The PURC recognized the adjustments were due to the exchange rate between the Ghanaian cedi and the US dollar, inflation projections, fuel costs, and the current hydro-thermal generation mix.

PURC in a statement issued on Friday, April 11 revealed the commission needs to recover 50% of outstanding revenue amounting to GHS976 million from previous quarters in 2024

The statement added the remaining 50% will be spread over subsequent quarters in 2025.

Meanwhile, the member of parliament for Tano North, Dr. Gideon Boako has boldly revealed the National Democratic Congress’s plan to scrap e-levy only to increase electricity tariffs.

According to Gideon Boako, the energy minister John Jinapor is on record to have said when the NDC scraps the e-levy they will increase electricity tariffs.

John Jinapor in an interview some weeks ago with TV3 revealed the IMF has proposed the government of Ghana increase electricity tariffs by 58%.
