The Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) on Friday said it has extended the announcement of new utility tariffs to next week.

This follows the extension of the take-over of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) by the Messrs Power Distribution Services Ghana Limited.

The PURC told the media on January 14 when the utility service providers presented their tariff proposals at a public hearing in respect of the 2019 Major Tariff Review for Electricity and Water in Accra that, the announcement for the utility tariffs would be done before the end of January and take effect on February 1.

However, Mr Ishmael Agyekumhene, the Chairman of the Technical Committee at the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) told the Ghana News Agency, in Accra, on Friday that, though the Commission had completed its consultations with the necessary stakeholders on the tariff review, the extension of the Concessioner’s take-over of the ECG prompted the postponement of the tariff announcement to next week.
