On Wednesday, 17th April, 2024, President Akufo-Addo commissioned the 150-megawatt Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant and the Kumasi Pipeline Project by Genser Energy at Anwomaso, Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
It is thee first in the Greater Kumasi and its contiguous areas across the Ashanti Region.
The very significant project, will improve the delivery of electricity to the middle and northern belts of the country and serve as further confirmation, if any was needed, of government’s resolve to ensuring that all parts of the country have the necessary energy infrastructure for development.
The renowned attribute of the Ashanti Region as a hub of small and medium scale commercial and industrial businesses means that, with enhanced electricity supply, these businesses will expand and offer employment opportunities to our youth.
According to the President it is gratifying to note that the gas transmission infrastructure for this power station was constructed from Prestea to Anwomaso through a collaboration between the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC) and Genser Energy Ghana Limited, a dynamic Ghanaian-owned energy company.
