Togbe Afede XIV led a team of Italian hydropower experts and investors to Hohoe as part of ongoing efforts to revive a major hydropower and water-supply project for the area.
He was joined by the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu; the Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Prosper Kumi; chiefs from the Hohoe traditional areas; and technical officers from the Ghana Water Company Limited. The team visited the Hohoe headworks, intake points, dam site, and other operational facilities to give the experts a comprehensive understanding of the project landscape.
The visit enabled the Italian delegation to assess the basin conditions, topography, and water levels, all of which will inform the next stage of their technical evaluation.
Togbe Afede highlighted the project’s importance, noting its potential to enhance water supply, support renewable energy generation, boost tourism, and create practical learning opportunities for young people interested in hydropower and engineering.
The experts are expected to return to continue their analysis as collaborative efforts advance toward delivering this transformative project for Hohoe and the Volta Region.
