The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has refuted claims made by Rehoboth Properties following a mass power disconnection at the Rehoboth Kweiman Estate in Accra.
On June 16, 2025, ECG conducted an inspection at the estate and uncovered 83 illegal connections, including one in the estate’s own administrative office.
Due to the scale of the power theft, ECG disconnected electricity to the entire estate, which houses about 400 apartments.
Rehoboth’s management was summoned to ECG’s Accra East Regional Office at Makola to discuss penalties and required steps for reconnection.
In a statement on July 2, 2025, ECG clarified that only apartments with valid meters and no involvement in the illegal activity have had power restored.
The company explained that the remaining disconnected units, including the administration block, must comply with metering protocols before reconnection.
Responding to Rehoboth’s claim of a 2023meter shortage, ECG stated that records show meters were requested on July 4, 2023, but no payment was made until June 17, 2025—after the disconnection.
ECG added that Rehoboth’s management signed a notice on June 17 confirming the 83 unmetered units, each of which now owes GH¢19,247.40 in recovery charges.
Additionally, a block factory operating within the estate was found to be using illegal electricity and has also been disconnected for separate action.
