The Project
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) was funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), to address unreliable electricity supply and insufficient access to electricity. ESB International provided Technical Advisory Services to the ECG from 2017 to 2019, assisting them in carrying out their financial and operational turnaround obligations.
Our Approach

The Technology
Ambitious Information and Communication Technology (ICT), alongside Business Change Projects and Networks Projects, including increased Access.
The Results
- Assisted ECG review designs and technical documents
- Loss and outage reduction initiative assistance
