ACCRA, GHANA — The Electricity Company of Ghana has announced a nationwide revenue mobilisation exercise scheduled from Monday, November 9, through Friday, November 27, 2026, to recover outstanding electricity bills.

The initiative covers customers with arrears across residential, commercial and industrial categories, along with ministries, departments and agencies. ECG says the exercise is intended to support cash flow and the company's ability to maintain electricity operations.

Dr Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku, ECG's General Manager for External Communications, urged customers to clear overdue balances using authorised payment channels. The company said customers who have unpaid bills could face disconnection and related reconnection charges.

ECG also warned against illegal electricity connections and unauthorised reconnections following disconnection, saying such activity may lead to enforcement action.

Customers who cannot confirm their outstanding balance should contact their nearest ECG office or recognised company support channels. ECG has encouraged payment through its normal systems, including its mobile application.

The dates reflect the announced schedule. They do not, by themselves, establish how many premises have been visited or disconnected since the campaign began.

The exercise may affect households and businesses nationwide, but individual customers should verify any payment request before handing money to a person claiming to represent the utility.
