The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has announced plans to begin a nationwide distribution of standardised and accurate electricity meters starting next month as part of efforts to improve revenue mobilisation in the power sector.
The exercise will also involve the installation of new transformers aimed at strengthening power supply and stabilising electricity distribution across the country.
The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, disclosed this while responding to questions on the floor of Parliament of Ghana on Monday, March 16.
“Next month, we will start the large-scale rollout of transformers. Within that same month, we should see a much more massive injection of new, standardised and accurate meters. That is how we can make sure that there is guaranteed revenue for investment.
“All meters procured are tested. I can assure you that these meters are of high quality; they meet the standards, and they do the job they are supposed to do,” he said.
