ECG PSP: PUWU Sustains Pushback as Debate Over Power Sector Reforms Intensifies | Matters Arising

The Public Utilities Workers' Union (PUWU) has intensified its opposition to the government's planned private sector participation (PSP) in the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), insisting the move threatens jobs, national assets and electricity service delivery. The union argues that ECG's operational challenges can be resolved through reforms rather than private involvement, while government maintains the initiative is aimed at improving efficiency, reducing losses and strengthening the power distribution sector. The renewed standoff has sparked fresh debate over the future of Ghana's electricity industry and the best path to sustainable power sector reforms. #mattersarising
