ECG on Tuesday attributed the intermittent power interruption to a technical challenge and is working tirelessly to resolve the issue.
The utility service provider is now able to sell credit at its district offices after some disruption to its prepaid metering systems that left customers stranded.
Currently, customers in the Greater Accra, Central, Eastern, Western, and Volta Regions can visit ECG district offices to purchase electricity.
ECG in a statement assured customers on its prepaid metering systems that its team “is working progressively to rectify the technical anomaly which affected the purchase of electricity.”
Some Electricity consumers have been counting their losses, with some saying their businesses have been affected negatively following their inability to purchase electricity.
