Abstract

The power sector of Ghana was institutionalized in the early 1960s under the Electricity Department of the then Public Works Department of the Ministry of Works and Housing. Since then, the sector has evolved as a public monopoly. In 1967 the Electricity Department was transformed into the Electricity Corporation of Ghana (ECG), also a fully state-owned electricity distribution enterprise.
