The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has disconnected Ghana Water Limited (GWL) from the national grid over a GH¢999.6 million debt.
The disconnection, which occurred on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, forms part of ECG’s ongoing nationwide revenue mobilisation exercise.
The ECG taskforce indicated that GWL was given ample notice to settle its arrears but failed to do so.
In addition to the disconnection at GWL, a similar action was taken against the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) over an outstanding debt of GH¢3,153,484.98.
ECG officials explained that GBC failed to comply with a structured payment plan previously agreed upon, prompting the disconnection.
Meanwhile, the ECG has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to GWL to settle its outstanding debt or risk an extended disconnection affecting its main pumping stations, which are crucial for nationwide water distribution.
