The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) Ashanti Regional Office recently engaged staff and management of the Otumfuo Educational Fund in Kumasi as part of its efforts to draw its services closer to corporate institutions in the region.
This initiative is a testament to PURC’s commitment to stakeholder engagement, education, and consumer empowerment.
The engagement aimed to achieve several objectives, including increased awareness and visibility, improved compliance, consumer empowerment, transparency and accountability, and addressing utilities challenges. By educating staff of institutions about responsible electricity and water usage, conservation, and safety, PURC hopes to promote a culture of responsible consumption and reduce the risk of accidents and illegal connections.
The engagement is expected to benefit both the institution and PURC. By informing consumers about regulations and guidelines, PURC can promote compliance and reduce the incidence of illegal connections. Additionally, the engagement provides a platform for staff of institutions to engage with PURC, promoting transparency and accountability. Furthermore, the initiative fosters a sense of cooperation and encourages collective action to address electricity and water-related challenges.
The engagement with Otumfuo Educational Fund staff is part of PURC’s broader strategy to engage with stakeholders and promote awareness about its services and regulations. By working closely with corporate institutions, PURC can ensure that consumers are well-informed and empowered to make informed decisions about their electricity and water usage.
The PURC Ashanti Regional Office’s engagement with Otumfuo Educational Fund staff in Kumasi is a significant step towards promoting awareness, compliance, and consumer empowerment.
By working together with corporate institutions, PURC can promote a culture of responsible consumption and ensure that consumers have access to reliable and efficient utility services. The initiative reflects PURC’s dedication to stakeholder engagement, education, and consumer empowerment, and is expected to have a positive impact on the utility sector in the Ashanti region.
