Ashanti region set to become power generation hub with 700MW - Jinapor

The Ashanti Region is poised to transform into a significant power generation hub with plans to develop 700 megawatts of electricity, according to Deputy Energy Minister, John Jinapor. This initiative aims to bolster the region's energy capacity and meet the growing demand for electricity in Ghana. Jinapor highlighted that this ambitious project aligns with the government's commitment to enhance energy accessibility and reliability across the nation.

The proposed development will involve multiple sources of power generation, including renewable energy options, which are crucial for sustainable growth. The move is expected to not only support local industries but also attract investment opportunities, ultimately fostering economic development in the region.

Jinapor emphasized that empowering the Ashanti Region as a power generation center will create jobs and stimulate various sectors reliant on stable electricity supply. As Ghana continues to prioritize energy infrastructure improvements, this initiative represents a significant step forward in ensuring that both urban and rural communities can benefit from increased power availability. The government remains dedicated to executing projects that enhance the country's energy landscape effectively.
