The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has advised its prepaid meter customers to buy enough electricity to last them through and after the Christmas holidays.
The Electricity Company of Ghana’s (ECG) William Boateng has suggested that prepaid meter users strive to purchase enough for their homes for the holiday season and beyond.
The decision to warn consumers to buy enough power for their homes was made because, according to the PRO of the electricity distributor, it is likely that customers will be left stranded in trying to find power to buy because the majority of its outlet vendors won’t be working during the holiday season.
Speaking on Kumasi-based Abusua FM, Mr. Willliam Boateng stated that, “those of our customers who use prepaid meters should try and buy enough for their homes this Christmas and after”.
“Don’t buy with little money and say I will go and buy another during Christmas. That will cause discomfort because we will all go for Christmas break. Those who will be available for sales will be few,” he further cautioned.
“You know how much you consume so do well to buy enough otherwise these vendors may not open their shops for you to purchase power during the festive season. You may also have to join long queues at our various offices which will bring inconveniences,” William Boateng told Kojo Marfo on the show “Abusua Nkommo”.
Mr Boateng however, assured the public that, sales persons at the ECG offices will continue to work during the holidays so that customers who may troop in to their offices can have power to buy.
