The NDC from 2009 to 2016 did a cumulative percentage increase in electricity tariffs of 294.6%, which translates into an average increase in electricity tariffs of 36.8% over their 8 years period in government

The NPP, on the other hand, has done a cumulative percentage increase in electricity tariffs of 57.45% and an average of 7.2%.

While under the NDC, electricity tariffs were increased astronomically, Ghanaians at the same time were living in dumsor.

Under the Nana Addo-Bawumia government, electricity tariffs have seen nominal increase with corresponding steady and reliable supply of electricity power.
