It was a restless week across Ghana as electricity consumers from all walks of life began to notice something unusual: their prepaid credits were vanishing at breakneck speed, almost as if their meters had caught a sudden burst of energy. The air was thick with speculation and frustration. Social media, especially X, buzzed with anxious voices comparing experiences and searching for answers.
Richmond Rockson, spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, soon acknowledged the uproar. In a public post, he echoed the nation’s concerns, describing how customers felt their prepaid meters were “running like Usain Bolt.”
Recognizing the growing anxiety, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, Minister for Energy and Green Transition, decided that swift action was needed. He summoned the leadership of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and gave clear instructions: launch an immediate and thorough investigation into the rapid credit depletion, and deliver a comprehensive report within seven days.
“The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has taken notice of these complaints and has directed ECG to investigate and provide a report to him within 7 days for further action,” read the official statement.
This directive brought a sense of hope and anticipation. For many, it signaled that their worries were being taken seriously at the highest level. The findings of ECG’s investigation are expected to shed light on the cause of the fast-draining credits and bring clarity to the nation’s electricity billing and metering systems. As Ghanaians await answers, all eyes are on the Ministry and ECG to resolve the mystery and restore confidence in the power supply system.
