The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has disconnected power to the Takoradi Technical University for failing to settle a debt of Gh¢1.3million.
This was confirmed by the Public Relations Officer of the company in the Western Region, Benjamin Quarcoe during an interview on Takoradi-based Connect FM.
“We were expecting institutions and individuals to make payment when the nationwide debt collection exercise began. Some have complied and made part payments but others have decided not to”, he said.
He added that, “This morning we came to Takoradi Technical University (TTU) and we had no other option than to disconnect their electricity. They are owing us 1.3 million Ghana Cedis so as we speak, they don’t have electricity. If they should pay us, we shall reconnect them.”
It should be noted that ECG has commenced a nationwide debt collection exercise.
So far, ECG has cut down power to some companies and institutions in the Western Region with Takoradi Technical University being the latest.
