The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has announced a 1.14 per cent increase in electricity tariffs for all categories of consumers, effective October 1, 2025. Water tariffs, however, will remain unchanged for the same period.
In a statement signed by Acting Executive Secretary Shafic Suleman, the Commission explained that the adjustment followed its Quarterly Tariff Review Mechanism, which assesses key economic indicators that influence the cost of delivering utility services. These include the Ghana cedi–US dollar exchange rate, domestic inflation, the electricity generation mix, and global fuel prices, particularly natural gas.
According to the PURC, the review was necessary to preserve the real value of tariffs and ensure the financial sustainability of utility companies so they can continue delivering reliable electricity and water services.
