lectricity and Water tariffs to go up by May 3

The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has announced an upward adjustment in electricity and water tariffs.

Electricity to go up by 14.75% and water by 4.02%, effective May 3, 2025.

The revision follows the Commission’s quarterly tariff review process for the first and second quarters of 2025.

The review is aimed at ensuring revenue stability for utility service providers while minimising the financial impact on consumers.

The PURC attributed the adjustments to several factors, including the exchange rate between the Ghana cedi and the US dollar, inflation projections, fuel costs (particularly natural gas), and the current hydro-thermal generation mix.
