Ghana to sign 1,200MW gas power deal for biggest thermal plant

President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government will build the biggest thermal capacity, with agreements for 1,200 megawatts of gas-fired thermal power to be signed before the end of this year.

Economic stability On the progress of the economy, President Mahama said the government inherited an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme that was off-track but had worked to bring it back on track and stabilise the economy.

Energy sector debt President Mahama said the government had cleared the energy sector debts and reorganised the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to prioritise payment of power producers, a move that has stabilised power supply.
