The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) on Wednesday, 17th May, 2023 announced an increased in Electricity tariffs by 18.36% effective 1st June, 2023.
The PURC asserted that the increase was as a result of the Ghana Cedis/US Dollar exchange rate, inflation, electricity generation mix, and the weighted average cost of natural gas (WACOG) as the factors that influenced the latest increment.
“This review has become necessary to maintain the real value of the cost of supply of the utility services and to ensure that the utility companies do not under or over-recover costs.”
“While under-recovery has negative implications for the ability of the companies to supply service to consumers, and has the potential of causing outages of electricity, over-recovery unnecessarily overburdens consumers of electricity.”
