The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has announced that the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has begun tie-in and test run activities to connect the new AKSA Ahwomaso Power Plant to the national transmission grid.
In a press release dated Monday, December 22, the Ministry said the exercise forms part of system enhancement works aimed at expanding generation capacity and improving the reliability of electricity supply across the country.
According to the Ministry, once fully integrated, the AKSA Ahwomaso Power Plant is expected to contribute approximately 141 megawatts (MW) of power to the national grid, strengthening electricity supply for households, businesses and industries, particularly within the middle belt and other parts of the country.
The Ministry however cautioned that during the tie-in and test run period, there may be brief and temporary interruptions to the power supply in some areas. It explained that such interruptions, if they occur, will be carefully managed and are necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the transmission system.
The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition assured the public that the activities are being carried out in the national interest, with a focus on long-term system stability and improved service delivery.
It further assured that it will continue to work closely with all relevant sector agencies to sustain a stable power supply throughout the Christmas period and beyond, as has been the case for much of 2025.
The statement was signed by Richmond Rockson, Esq., Spokesperson and Head of Communication at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
