Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has reiterated that the government has no intention of selling the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Taking his turn at the Government’s Accountability Series on Wednesday, July 16, the Minister clarified that the government’s objective is to involve the private sector in specific operational areas of ECG, particularly in revenue collection and billing.
“Let me put on record that we are not selling ECG. What we are seeking to do is to involve the private sector, particularly in the billing and collection sector.”
He encouraged Ghanaian firms with an interest in the energy sector to express their readiness and participate in the transformation of ECG, highlighting the need for collaboration to build a more robust and sustainable power utility.
“And I encourage Ghanaians to take a keen interest in this. We have good Ghanaian entrepreneurs; this is an opportunity for you. Get involved and help us to bring about improvement in the sector.”
Mr Jinapor emphasised that the cabinet has “approved private sector participation in ECG’s distribution network.”
This, he said, is aimed at increasing revenue collection and efficiency in the sector.
