The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has inaugurated a $50 million Bulk Power Supply Point at Kasoa in the Central Region on Wednesday, June 1, 2022.
The 435 MVA project, funded by the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA)
under the Ghana Power Compact Agreement with the Government of the USA, is the
second-largest bulk power supply under the agreement after the Pokuase Bulk
Power Supply.
The substation will serve the fast-growing Kasoa
municipality, as well as Winneba and nearby communities.
Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. Bawumia said, the
project, which started two and a half years ago, will significantly improve
power supply in the fast-growing and rapidly industrializing Kasoa community
and beyond.
"This strategic investment, will also contribute
to the reduction in technical losses, improve power quality and also resolve
issues related to the quantum of unserved energy, thereby improving the
operational efficiency and finances of ECG and GRIDCo," Dr. Bawumia added.
The Vice President noted that the Kasoa Bulk Supply
Point, which is the second of two programs under the US Government's Millennium
Challenge Account agreement with Ghana, has, together with the other program,
added to the wealth of our Nation.
