ECG Terminates 202 Supply Contracts

The Minister for Energy, John Jinapor, says 202 supply contracts at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have been terminated.

This followed a review of a total of 347 existing contracts by the Board of Directors.

“The total values of these contracts are estimated at $227 million, 1.17 million pounds, 4.08 million Euros,” he announced at a Government Accountability Series press briefing on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.

He noted that the remaining 145 contracts are still under review and could also be terminated, depending on the outcome of ongoing assessments.

Jinapor justified this as part of the government’s efforts to cut reckless expenditure. He said the current government is spending 30% to 40% less than what was spent in 2024 by the previous Akufo-Addo government in terms of procurement.

“We are achieving better results with value for money and ensuring that we adhere to strict procurement processes…We are determined to clean the sector. As Minister, I take full responsibility to ensure strict adherence to procurement procedures going forward,” the Minister added.
