PURC Announces 2.45% Increase in Electricity Tariffs, Maintains Water Rates for Q3 2025

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

The adjustment affects lifeline, residential, non-residential, and special load tariff (SLT) customers, and is aimed at sustaining the operations of electricity utility service providers amid prevailing macroeconomic conditions.

According to the Commission, the latest tariff review considered key variables such as a projected average inflation rate of 20.67%, a Ghana Cedi to US Dollar exchange rate of GHS10.3052, and an increase in the weighted average cost of gas (WACoG) to USD 7.7134 per MMBtu.

“The Commission has carefully analysed the existing parameters and, considering the competitiveness of industries and the general living conditions of Ghanaians, has approved a 2.45% increase in electricity tariffs across board and 0% increment in water tariffs,” the PURC stated.

The third quarter generation mix remains unchanged, with hydro contributing 28.8% and thermal sources accounting for 71.2% of total electricity production. The Commission also factored into its calculations an outstanding GHS488 million in revenue arrears and the cost implications of maintaining reserve generation capacity to ensure grid stability.

  • Lifeline customers (0–30kWh): up from GHp77.63/kWh to GHp79.53/kWh
  • Residential users (0–300kWh): now GHp180.19/kWh
  • Non-residential users (301+kWh): adjusted to GHp202.17/kWh
  • High Voltage Mines customers: increased to GHp508.09/kWh from GHp495.93

The Commission emphasised that its quarterly tariff reviews are not arbitrary but are guided by a transparent and data-driven mechanism aimed at maintaining the real value of tariffs while ensuring the financial sustainability of the utility sector.

Consumers have been advised to take note of the revised electricity rates and plan their consumption accordingly.

Meanwhile, the PURC has opted to keep water tariffs unchanged for the third quarter of the year, citing current cost levels as sustainable despite similar inflationary and operational pressures. This decision offers a measure of relief to households and businesses grappling with broader economic headwinds.
