On day one of his working tour of the Ashanti Region, President Akufo-Addo commissioned the 330KV Kumasi-Bolgatanga Transmission Line Project at Anwomaso, near Kumasi.
The project, whose construction covers a distance of approximately 550km, has increased transmission capacity to meet growing demand in Ashanti, northern Ghana and beyond.
It has also contributed to the reduction of transmission line overloads and associated high transmission losses and improved voltages, particularly in Ashanti, Bono and Bono East Regions.
The Energy Minister, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh indicated in his remarks during the ceremony that power remains a critical aspect of our daily lives and that President Akufo-Addo is focused on ensuring that the sector is fit for purpose.
He stated, “We will therefore continue to make the necessary investments in power generation, transmission and distribution”.
“I am proud of this important project and as sector Minister, I am determined to ensure that the lights stay on. Ghanaians deserve no less”.
