ECG Announces GHC9 Million Investment for Infrastructure Advancements in Volta and Oti Regions in 2024

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has unveiled plans to inject over 9 million Ghana Cedis into comprehensive upgrades across the Volta and Oti regions in 2024.

During a recent media interaction in Ho, the Volta and Oti Regional Manageress of ECG, Mrs. Christina Jatoe-Kaleo, revealed the company’s commitment to improving overall service delivery. The investment aims to address critical areas, ensuring a more robust and reliable power supply for the residents of these regions.

Reflecting on 2023, Mrs. Jatoe-Kaleo highlighted the company’s innovations, including the ECG power app and Operation Fix Bill, Pay the Bill, aimed at maintaining a reliable power supply. In the past year, projects totaling 3.2 million Ghana Cedis were executed, encompassing transformer injections, upgrades, and extending power lines to underserved areas.

Despite facing challenges such as a revenue loss of 2.2 million Ghana Cedis due to the spillage of excess water from the Akosombo dam, Mrs. Jatoe-Kaleo expressed confidence in the positive impact of the upcoming investment. The strategic allocation of funds aligns with ECG’s vision to meet the growing demand for electricity and deliver seamless services to customers in the Volta and Oti regions.

Mrs. Jatoe-Kaleo announced that the infusion of funds in 2024 will focus on key areas identified for improvement. The projects, totaling at least 9 million Ghana Cedis, will include the establishment of sub-stations and switching stations. Volta region has been selected for a special project, with four major initiatives planned in Sogakofe, Kadjebi, and Akatsi.

As the year draws to a close, the collaboration between journalists and ECG management sets the tone for a harmonious working relationship, underlining the company’s commitment to elevating energy services in the Volta and Oti regions.
