The Power Distribution Service has waived ¢111,099,875 for residents of Krobo Odumase in the Eastern region, leaving them with ¢84,625,624.87 to settle.
As a sign of commitment to have power back, the residents are expected to make a payment from Friday.
Customers who are unable to pay one off can go to PDS for debt rescheduling plan.
These were part of the roadmap to peace and PDS reconnecting the Odumase community to the national grid, after things came to a head.
There was a clash on Wednesday which left a 14-year-old boy dead and two others in critical condition.
The violent clash ensued when the residents allegedly blocked the main road in the town to prevent PDS officers who were being escorted by police personnel, to switch off the main transformer that supplies power to the town.
At least 35 persons were said to have been arrested by the police.
At the meeting Friday, were officials of the Public Utilities and Regulatory Commission (PURC); MP for Lower Manya Krobo, Ebenezer Telarbi, Tema Region Managing Director and Staff of PDS.
