The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has begun the installation of 40,000 new prepaid meters in the Western Region.
So far, customers at New Site, Takoradi, New Takoradi, Essikado, Sekondi Market, Shama and Apremdo have been served.
“We are deploying 40,000 prepaid meters for distribution to customers in the Western Region and installations are ongoing,” the Regional General Manager, Mr Emmanuel Justice Ofori, told The Spectator on Wednesday.
He assured that all customers who have applied for the services would be served.
Mr Ofori explained that the arrangement was to clear a backlog of requests, address challenges of replacing faulty meters, old post-paid meters and also improve services.
“Management has signed a contract with MBH, an Indian prepaid meter manufacturer based in Ghana, and delivery starts from now to the end of the year. So far, installations have been successful,” he added.
The Regional Manager told The Spectator that ECG would also replace all faulty meters with prepaid meters, “depending on the areas that will be selected.”
Mr Ofori hoped the arrival of the new prepaid meters would ensure that delays in connections to ECG services would be reduced.
He indicated that regional staff had been trained ahead of the changes.
The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of ECG in the Western Region, Mr Benjamin Quarcoo, said distribution of the new prepaid meters would be done on a ‘first -come first-serve bases.
“All customers who have applied for prepaid meters in other areas will also get theirs soon,” Mr Quarcoo said.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
