- The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has declared an increase in electricity rates of 4.22 percent. The decision comes after a comprehensive review conducted for the third quarter of 2023.
- The main goal of the tariff adjustment, according to a statement issued by Ishmael Ackah, Executive Secretary of PURC, is to maintain the true cost of delivering utility services.
- For lifeline users, industrial customers, and non-residential companies including barbershops, chop bars, tailoring and dress-making shops, cold stores, and other small- to medium-sized enterprises, the new tariff structure retains the current prices. As a result, these consumer groups won’t see any increases or decreases in their electricity rates.
- The lifeline consumers will also profit from a freeze on tariff revisions for water rates, with no rise or change (0%) in their costs. However, the PURC has authorized a 1.18 percent increase in prices for all other categories of water consumers.
