What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ghana announced plans to construct a 1,200-megawatt gas-fired thermal power plant, which would become the country's largest power facility, surpassing the Akosombo Hydroelectric Power Station. President John Dramani Mahama stated that the government intends to sign the agreement for the 1,200 megawatts of thermal power before the end of 2026. Furthermore, the government cleared energy sector debts and reorganized the Electricity Company of Ghana to prioritize payments to power producers, stabilizing power supply.
