Barring any last minute technical challenge, the first unit of the Kpone Thermal Power Plant (KTPP) will be inaugurated by June 2015 to add 110 megawatts to Ghana’s power grid network.

[contextly_sidebar id=”5RZTFOmedr7NqYKSfKdnLTem5s6o9CpX”]The project manager of the power plant, Francis Agbenyo revealed this to Citi News.

Upon completion the $220 million Power Project which started in 2013, will add 220 megawatts of electricity to the national grid.

Speaking in an interview with Citi News the project manager said engineers are on site and are working hard to ensure that the June timeline is met to help improve the energy situation in Ghana.

“VRA is currently working very hard to make sure that we fix those challenges and then we can commission.”

He said the plant had experienced some setbacks due to funding saying “he issue of funding right from the beginning was a challenge because we were funding the project directly from our own internally generated fund.”

“We got some assistance from the banks in the form of bridge finance. That has also been helping us to pay the bills but currently we have some money and we are working with the contractor to bring at least the first unit on board somewhere in June. KTPP is on course to be commissioned debarring any major malfunction of any part,” said Francis Agbenyo.
