Residents of the Ketu South Municipality are set to embark on a demonstration on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, over concerns about alleged excessive electricity bills and faulty electricity meters.
The planned demonstration follows growing frustration among residents who say they have received electricity bills they consider unusually high and inconsistent with their actual consumption.
Residents have also raised concerns about the condition and accuracy of some meters, with some customers alleging that faulty meters have contributed to unexpectedly high bills.
Residents Demand Answers
The protesters are expected to use the demonstration to demand greater transparency from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and urgent action to address complaints from affected customers.
Among the concerns expected to be raised are the alleged overbilling of customers, faulty meters, and the need for proper verification of electricity consumption before bills are issued.
The issue has generated significant concern in Ketu South, where residents are calling for a fair and transparent process to resolve disputes between consumers and ECG.
Government Orders Investigation
The concerns come as the government moves to investigate complaints surrounding alleged electricity overbilling and faulty meters in parts of the Volta Region.
An independent investigation has been ordered to examine the complaints and establish whether customers have been incorrectly billed.
The investigation is expected to provide clarity on the accuracy of the affected meters and determine whether billing irregularities have occurred.
Calls for Fair Resolution
Residents are calling on ECG and the relevant authorities to take the concerns seriously and provide lasting solutions.
They want affected customers to have their meters properly inspected and their bills reviewed where necessary.
The planned demonstration is therefore expected to increase pressure on the authorities to address the issue and restore confidence among electricity consumers in the municipality.
As the demonstration approaches, residents and authorities will be watching closely for concrete steps to resolve the concerns over electricity billing and metering in Ketu South.
