TUC rejects World Bank private sector participation plan for ECG and NEDCo
The Trades Union Congress (TUC)-Ghana has rejected the World Bank’s push for private sector participation (PSP) in the operations of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo). The union has accused the World Bank of being “disingenuous” in its description of the proposed arrangement and warned that it would resist what it considers an attempt to privatise Ghana’s electricity distribution sector. In a statement issued in September 2026, the TUC took particular issue with comments by the World Bank’s Country Director, Dr Adrian Alter, on Channel One Television on August 24, in which he described the proposed PSP as involving “only revenue collection.”
