‘I PRAY GOD OPENS THE EYES OF OUR LEADERS WHO ARE NOT APPRECIATING OUR DEVELOPMENT’ – Akufo Addo

Additionally, President Akufo-Addo disclosed that the Volta River Authority (VRA) provided all funding for the thermal plant’s construction.

The African and Middle Eastern Resouce Investment (AMERI) Company has officially handed over the 10-unit power plants—under a five-year “built, own, operate, and transfer” arrangement—to the government of Ghana after completing the duration.

In an attempt to lessen the inconsistent power supply in the Ashanti Region, the VRA made the decision to move the thermal power plants to their current position.

“To top it all, VRA provided all the funds for the construction of this station, including land acquisition, permits and licences, preparation of environmental and social impact studies, civil works, electric mechanical works, and commissioning of the plant,” said President Akufo-Addo.

President Akufo-Addo further commended the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), and the Ghana National Petroleum Commission (GNPC) for “their respective roles played in bringing this project to fruition.”
