ECG to cut power supply to 91 hospitals over GHS261m debt

The Taskforce of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is poised to sever connections with 91 hospitals across the country due to unpaid debts totaling GHc261 million.

Following a “demand notice,” these health facilities, including prominent ones like Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and 37 Military Hospital, are expected to face power cuts within 48 hours.

This action is part of the ECG’s broader initiative to recover outstanding funds from customers, aimed at fortifying its operational capabilities.

Noteworthy institutions like Accra Academy, Parliament, and the Accra Sports Stadium have recently encountered similar disconnection scenarios.
