Ing. Bismark Otoo, ECG Accra East General Manage<\/strong><\/p>\nThe management of Accra East Region of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has maintained that Rehoboth Properties engaged in power theft, leading to the disconnection of power supply to its estate at the Kweiman Estate in Accra.<\/p>\n
According to a statement issued by the Communications Officer of the region, Mary Eshun-Oppong, an operation conducted by ECG officials at the properties on June 16, 2025, uncovered 83 instances of illegal connections, including those associated with the estate\u2019s office administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsequently, ECG disconnected power supply to the entire Estate, which consists of approximately 400 apartments. Following this action, Rehoboth Management was summoned to our Accra East Regional Office at Makola to discuss the situation and surcharges,\u201d the statement indicated.<\/p>\n
According to ECG, Rehoboth is expected to pay a total of GH\u20b51,597,534.20 \u2013 GH\u20b519,247.40 as recovery of the illegal connection for each of the 83 apartments.<\/p>\n
The statement was in response to Rehoboth\u2019s denial of media reports that ECG had disconnected power supply to the housing developer for engaging in illegal connection.<\/p>\n
Rehoboth had dismissed the allegations of illegal connection and indicated that \u201cRehoboth Properties neither has the resources nor the technical expertise to tamper with installations made by ECG professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n
It further pointed out delays in meter installations, revealing that it submitted applications and made full payments for meters in 2023 but its inquiries have revealed that ECG currently lacks sufficient meters to complete the installation for each house in the estate. It added that electricity had been restored to the estate.<\/p>\n
ECG Fires Back<\/p>\n
But the Accra East Region of ECG, in a sharp rebuttal, refuted the claims by Rehoboth Properties and maintained that its officers detected the illegal connections and subsequently terminated power supply to the facilities in the estate.<\/p>\n
ECG says it has only restored power to a select few apartments that have valid meters and have not engaged in any illegal connections based on its inspection.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdditionally, some customers who were inadvertently affected by the exercise have had their electricity reconnected. The 83 instances of power theft, including the administration block of Rehoboth, remain disconnected and will continue to be until the Estate Management complies with service connection protocols (meter application),\u201d ECG insisted.<\/p>\n
ECG also refuted claims by Rehoboth that it was not issued with meters it had paid for, and added that the company applied for meters on July 4, 2023, and invoices were issued, but payment was not made that year.<\/p>\n
Following the June 16, 2025 disconnection, payment for 20 meters was made on June 17, 2025 instead.<\/p>\n
On June 17, 2025, management of Rehoboth Estate visited the Accra East Regional Office to address the surcharge associated with the identified illegal connections and a notice was provided indicating that 83 apartments were directly connected without meters, which they acknowledged and signed.<\/p>\n
Subsequent to this, each of the 83 apartments is expected to pay GH\u00a219,247.40 as recovery of the illegal connection.<\/p>\n
The power distributor also pointed out that a block factory which\u00a0 was also found to be using power illegally on the premises of the Rehoboth Estate, has been disconnected and that matter is being handled separately from the 83 illegal connections identified at the various apartments within the Rehoboth Estate.<\/p>\n
\u201cECG remains committed to transparency in dealing with our customers, and urge all customers and the public to collaborate with ECG on the fight against illegal connection,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
