The Electricity Company of Ghana is a limited liability Company wholly owned by the Government of Ghana and operating under the Ministry of Energy (ME). The Company was incorporated under the Companies Code, 1963 in February 1997. It began as the Electricity Department on 1st April 1947 and later became the Electricity Division in 1962. It was subsequently converted into the Electricity Corporation of Ghana by NLC Decree 125 in 1967.

A company whose mission is to provide quality, reliable and safe electricity services to support the socio-economic growth and development of Ghana. The company has over the years been able to carry out this mission notwithstanding the occasional challenges we encounter. The site aims at providing information about the operations of the company as well as engaging our customers and the general public on the best ways of supporting the task of building our nation Ghana through the distribution of electric power.

Until July 1987, the responsibility for distributing and supplying power in the country rested on ECG. The Government created the Northern Electricity Department (NED) as a subsidiary of Volta River Authority (VRA) in 1987 which took over from ECG the responsibility for the management of electric power distribution in Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions.

The Company (ECG) is however responsible for the distribution of electricity in the southern part of Ghana namely, Ashanti, Central, Eastern, Greater Accra, Volta and Western Region.
