ECG Mobile App: How to Download ECG Power on Android & iPhone
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia Tuesday launched the ECG Mobile App dubbed "ECG Power" that will enable ECG customers to buy and pay electricity bills with convenience via the various mobile money platforms.
The Vice President of Ghana on 18th February 2020 launched the new ECG Mobile App which is called ECG Power.
Although there is an ECG Web Portal that allows customers to check their bills, apply for a new service for their premises/home, make complaints etc prepaid customers were still unable to buy ECG credits online.
Although there was an ECG App already, the new one seems to have added benefits.
With the new app, which is available on both iOS and Android, one can check their meter balance, how much credit they have used within a period, etc.
Currently, the ECG Mobile App supports the following prepaid meters:
- Nuri (Kamstrup)
- Holley
- Alpha
- MBH
- CLOU
Be sure to check your meter before proceeding.
The app also supports all postpaid meters across Ghana. According to ECG, there are plans to roll out other prepaid meters in subsequent updates.
With this new App, Ghanaians can avoid the inconvenience of joining queues or moving far from their homes to buy credits for their meter. In this digital era, there is no need to stress yourself for life must be very simple.
Update (18th February 2020): If you experience errors with the server while adding your meter, wait for a few minutes and try again. If it persists, restart your mobile device and try again.
