The Accra West Region Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has lost close to GH¢4 million over the past nine months of 2021 through illegal power connections alone.

Illegal connection activities robbed the company of some 3.9 million kilowatts per hour (3.9mkWh) of power between the months of January and September, 2021, resulting in a revenue loss of GH¢3.9 million to the company within the period.

This was disclosed by Dr. Mark Owusu Ansah, the Regional Revenue Protection Manager, Accra West Region ECG, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on the side-line of a mass revenue mobilisation and disconnection exercise carried out in Achimota and its environs in Accra.
