Abstract: Abstract Electricity has become an important factor to boost the development of most countries across the world and an indicator of living standards for households. While the cost of access to electricity has been increasing over time, especially in African countries, firms engaged in the sector are still failing too to be efficient. Despite improvements in tariff decisions across the continent, utilities are still struggling to collect enough to stable relevant and viable. Therefore, this paper compares the utility performance and electricity tariff for Ghana, Namibia, and Uganda, using different reports published by those countries, it is observed that a need for regular data collection is required for further evidence analysis.
