60% of the blame should be at the door step of ECG. I have meter problem paid for a new meter since January 2014, I can tell you I call at least/MINIMUM 4 times a week and the response is the same sorry we have to do this or that. Or better still the contact person will not respond at all.

Ghana has three hydroelectric dams: Akosombo dam, Kpong hydroelectric dam and the newly constructed Bui dam. Aside this we have the Aboadze power and Takoradi power plants. We need to quadruple our electricity production within the next four years.
However what is disturbing is that the additional power being generated is not being used by our industries or consumers. We supply Togo, Benin and Nigeria through two grids one in the south and one in the North. We also supply ivory coast and Burkina Faso with electricity. Inspite of this the cost of electricity to the average consumer has not declined and many would tell you that it is very expensive. There is another thing I don't understand. The government sometimes tells us there is power crises meanwhile electricity supply to other countries from Ghana continues unabated.
A look at the map of the national electricity grid would tell you straight away that the at least 12 Akyem districts in the Eastern Region which make up more than half the population of the region have been cheated.
In the load shedding exercise it is imperative that some key areas be left out. This should include where the three arms of government work and reside like Sakumono where MPs reside and flag staff house where the President works and resides. It should also include the premises of key government institutions like ministries.

Stealing is bad, so illegal connections amount to stealing. Check the roadside steel works, market stalls, hairdressing salons, seamstress shops tailor's shops, the small scale artisans, they use electricity and don't pay. ECG task force should target these small scale consumers, they are stubborn defaulters on payment for power used

ECG can change al its equipments but the bottom line is ECG is not generating electricity. How are they going to improve on outages?

It was personnel of DVLA found to be corrupt, now the question is these illegal connections, were they not connected by personnel from ECG? Those illegal connections found in 2011, 2012 and 2013, was there any investigations as to who did those connections? Or were they connected by the Makola women themselves, or the house owners themselves? were those people prosecuted? and what happened to them? They not only need to repay any consumptions used but they be charged with serious offences for stealing electricity and attempting to endanger lives. Ghana Ghana Ghana!!!!
