Prepaid electricity metres in Ghana let you buy credit/tokens instead of waiting for a monthly bill shock. Smooth use depends on correct metre numbers, official vendors, and basic troubleshooting when tokens fail to load.
Buying credit safely
- Use official ECG / approved vendor channels and apps announced for your metre type
- Confirm the metre number on the device before paying
- Save the token SMS/receipt
- Enter tokens carefully — watch 0 vs O mistakes
When a token will not load
- Re-check the metre number used at purchase.
- Retry entry slowly.
- Check whether the metre needs a special key/reset sequence in its manual.
- Visit an official service point with receipts if it still fails.
Household tips
- Track weekly spend to spot appliance problems
- Unplug idle high-load devices

FAQ
Does prepaid mean power never goes out?
No — network outages still happen; prepaid only changes billing.
Can I transfer unused credit when moving?
Ask ECG about transfer rules for your metre type.
Why did usage suddenly jump?
Faulty appliances, illegal extensions on your line, or sharing changes — investigate early.
Buy prepaid credit from official channels, save tokens, and troubleshoot metre numbers before you panic. Prepaid rewards attention — not roadside bargains.
