The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has publicly praised the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) for its significant progress in revenue collection during the first half of 2025.
The Minister’s remarks come amid ongoing efforts by the government and ECG to enhance financial performance and operational efficiency within the power sector, a critical component of Ghana’s energy transition agenda.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, Minister Jinapor highlighted that ECG generated 1.6 billion Ghana Cedis in revenue, marking a substantial increase compared to previous periods.
Although the company’s revenue fell short of the projected target of 2.5 billion Ghana Cedis for the half-year, Jinapor emphasized that the growth achieved is a positive development.
“For instance, this month, at the end of the period, ECG was able to raise about 1.6 billion Ghana Cedis, which is a remarkable improvement,” he stated.
He further explained that when comparing the revenue figures year-on-year, the increase is even more pronounced.
“If you do a year-on-year comparison, what it means is that this month of 2025, as compared to the same month in 2024, there’s a remarkable improvement in terms of revenue collection,” Jinapor added.
