Court Dismisses PDS Concession Agreement To Manage ECG Assests

The Commercial Division of the Accra High Court has dismissed an application by Power Distribution Services (PDS) challenging the cancellation of its operation licences following the termination of a concession agreement for it to manage the assets of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

Last year, PDS dragged the government to the High Court with a judicial review application asking the court to quash the cancellation of its operation licences by the government, acting through the Energy Commission.

The court, presided over by Justice Akua Sarpomaa Amoah, last Friday threw out the application after dismissing all the reliefs which the applicant sought and upheld the opposition to the application by the Attorney-General (A-G), Mr Godfred Yeboah Dame.

Justice Amoah, however, did not give full reasons for her decision, which she said would be in her ruling filed at the court’s registry.
