The Electricity Company of God has disconnected the power supply to the Ghana Airports Company Limited over debts owed to the tune of 49 million Ghana Cedis. According to ECG, the debts have been accumulated over the years which has necessitated the move to disconnect their power supply. A task force from ECG embarked on this exercise as part of measures to address power challenges and errant customers.
It is however noted that this disruption of power at the Airport does not affect travel and other business at the terminals. the team leader of ECG’s task force, Nene Shadrack said, until 50% of the amount owed is paid, power will not be restored. The disconnection affects the Airport’s head office and other offices excluded terminal 3 and others.
An attempt by the management of the KIA to pay the debt by cheque when the disconnection exercise was underway was rejected by the task force.
ECG has recent times embarked on checks to arrest illegal activities relating to the use of power in the country.
