A research report on electricity pricing recommends redesigning Ghana’s lifeline electricity tariff into a hybrid, better-targeted protection system to improve its effectiveness for the intended beneficiaries. The report found that only a small proportion of households benefit from the lifeline tariff, with beneficiaries unevenly distributed across Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) districts and heavily concentrated in low-income areas. The research, titled: “The Lifeline Electricity Tariff Classification Policy in Ghana: A Hit or Miss!”, was carried out in the Greater Accra and Central regions, and supported by the International Growth Centre, an organisation focusing on economic policy research. Lifeline electricity tariffs provide subsidised power to low-income residential consumers, defined in Ghana as households consuming between zero and 30 kilowatt-hours per month. Other recommendations included enforcing the one-household-one-meter policy to address shared meters and implementing intensive, district-specific public education campaigns to improve understanding of the lifeline tariff system.
