The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Accra East Region, has issued a rejoinder to clarify recent public statements and media reports denying power theft allegations at Rehoboth Kweiman Estate.

The clarification follows a recent operation by ECG which uncovered widespread illegal electricity connections at the estate.

Operation uncovers 83 illegal connections

According to ECG, on June 16, 2025, officials conducted an inspection at the Rehoboth Kweiman Estate and discovered 83 instances of illegal power connections, including unauthorised usage by the estate’s own administrative offices. As a result, ECG disconnected the entire estate, which comprises about 400 apartments.

Power restoration: only to verified apartments

ECG stated that only apartments with valid meters and no illegal connections have had their power supply restored following the operation. In addition, a few customers who were mistakenly affected during the disconnection exercise have also had their electricity reconnected.

The 83 apartments involved in the illegal connections—including the estate’s administration block—remain disconnected. ECG emphasised that power will only be restored once Rehoboth Estate Management complies fully with ECG’s service connection protocols.

No meter shortage in 2023

Addressing claims made by Rehoboth Properties that a shortage of meters prevented them from complying with ECG requirements, the power distributor clarified that there was no meter shortage in 2023.

ECG revealed that Rehoboth applied for meters on July 4, 2023, and invoices were issued. However, no payments were made that year. It was only after the June 16, 2025, disconnection that payment for 20 meters was made on June 17, 2025.

Surcharge for illegal connections

Following a meeting between ECG and Rehoboth Management on June 17, 2025, ECG issued a notice confirming that 83 apartments were directly connected to power without meters.

Rehoboth Management acknowledged and signed the document. Each of these apartments has since been surcharged GH¢19,247.40 as a recovery fee for the illegal connections.

Block factory also disconnected

In a related matter, ECG disclosed that a block factory located within the Rehoboth Estate was also found to be using electricity illegally.

The factory has been disconnected, and ECG noted that this issue is being handled separately from the 83 illegal apartment connections.

ECG urges cooperation in anti-theft efforts

ECG reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and urged all customers to cooperate in the ongoing efforts to combat power theft. The company emphasised the importance of adhering to established procedures to ensure fair and legal access to electricity.

“We remain committed to transparency in dealing with our customers and urge all customers and the public to collaborate with ECG in the fight against illegal connection,” the statement concluded.
