The Tain District in the Brong-Ahafo Region is benefiting from a Peri-Urban Rural Electrification Project under the funding of Ghana Government through the Energy Ministry.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”fAvx5PjFkW474r2xajHbOlUJM82YAsse”]The estimated USD $80 Million is being executed by Ibbeco Company Limited, an Accra-based Ghanaian electrical engineering firm, with Tech-Consult, also an electrical engineering consulting firm in Accra, as the project consultants.<\/p>\n
Mr Gyan-Tutu, Member of Parliament (MP) for Tain, who initiated the project, explained to the media on Tuesday at Nsawkaw in the Brong-Ahafo Region that the project had become necessary because most of the big towns in the district had expanded and, therefore, needed additional supply of electricity.<\/p>\n
He said work had commenced on the project, and that some of the beneficiary communities were Nsawkaw, Seikwa, Badu, Menji, Brohani and Kwame Tenten.<\/p>\n
Mr Gyan-Tutu added that the project covered 28 communities, saying the first- phase of it, comprising 14 communities, included the seven-listed above.<\/p>\n
Another Rural Electrification Project being executed by China Water, a Ghanaian-based Chinese electrical engineering company, for 20 towns and villages in the district had also started a week earlier.<\/p>\n
Mr Gyan-Tutu, who did not say the cost of that project, cited some of the beneficiary towns as Koguaa, Konkonte, Dagadu, Agyanwiam, Kojowologo, Kwame Mensakrom, Adamu, Akore and Adadease.<\/p>\n
