Project to connect 206 communities in VR to electricity launched in Ho

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, last Friday launched a turnkey electrification project to extend power to 206 communities in the 18 districts of the Volta Region.

The current Ho power substation Dr Jinapor said the construction of a new power substation project to provide the regional capital with a dedicated power transformer and transmission lines to ease pressure on the existing transformer and transmission infrastructure and improve reliability of power supply to Ho and the surrounding communities had also begun.

Speaking at a durbar at the forecourt of the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC), Dr Jinapor said the project would significantly improve access to power for communities currently without power and those that needed power extension.
