The Public Utilities Workers Union (PUWU) has criticized the Ghanaian government's decision to appoint a transaction adviser for private-sector participation in the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo).

Employees of Ghana's Volta River Authority (VRA) and Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) have voiced their strong opposition to the proposed privatization of the state-owned power companies.

The Public Utilities Workers Union (PUWU) has urged the Ghanaian government to maintain public ownership of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) while pursuing performance reforms.

The Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) in Ghana conducted a two-day operation in Tamale, seizing over 300 electricity meters from residents accused of power theft.

The Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) is reportedly struggling with a significant GH¢5 billion funding deficit, a claim made by staff from both NEDCo and VRA.
