Electricity tariffs to go up by 2.45% effective July 1 – PURC

The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has announced a 2.45% increase in electricity tariffs across all consumer categories, effective July 1, 2025, as part of its routine quarterly tariff review.

The adjustment, which affects residential, non-residential, and Special Load Tariff (SLT) customers, follows the Commission’s assessment of key economic indicators, including rising inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, and increased fuel costs for power generation.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, June 25, the PURC explained that the upward review is necessary to sustain the operations of utility service providers and ensure the continued delivery of reliable electricity to consumers.

The Commission’s analysis considered a projected average inflation rate of 20.67%, an exchange rate of GHS10.3052 to the US dollar, and an increase in the weighted average cost of gas (WACoG) to USD 7.7134/MMBtu.

“The general living conditions of the Ghanaian, the Commission wishes to announce an increase of 2.45% across board in the electricity tariffs and 0% increment in water tariffs,” the statement noted.

The energy generation mix for the third quarter remains unchanged, with hydro sources contributing 28.8% and thermal sources accounting for 71.2% of total electricity generation.

The review also factored in outstanding revenues of approximately GHS488 million from previous quarters and the financial demands of maintaining reserve capacity to guarantee grid stability.

The Commission emphasized that these quarterly adjustments are not arbitrary but form part of a structured mechanism to reflect real market conditions and maintain the financial viability of service providers.

In a relief to consumers, the PURC confirmed that water tariffs will remain unchanged for the third quarter of 2025, despite facing similar economic pressures. The Commission stated that the current water tariffs remain sustainable for now.

Consumers are advised to take note of the new electricity tariffs and make the necessary adjustments to their consumption as the new rates come into effect on July 1.
