Ghana\u2019s power sector has major challenges especially because of huge generation problems.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”g38XASIzjQX8ExaG5MH74mQvc71VLW8J”]The Aboadze Thermal Plant which will receive its first gas from Atuabo Gas Processing Plant is expected to add about 330 megawatts of power to the national electricity grid<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n This follows after two weeks of testing the plant.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show,<\/strong> Dr. Wereko-Brobby said, \u201cIt\u2019s extremely important. I just hope we do not rush the Aboadze thing; it\u2019s a fantastic thing that we are able to give gas.\u201d<\/p>\n He further observed that \u201ctheoretically, Takoradi I think can have as much a 1,000 megawatts of capacity if it\u2019s all working so it is a major boost and eventually may give us a lot more option but again we shouldn\u2019t look to it as the end of the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
