“Ghana already serves, in many ways, as an energy hub for the sub-region, with the distribution of power and petroleum products flowing through our country to neighbouring states. The work of PHDC will further position us to harness this strategic advantage and transform it into sustained economic growth,” John Jinapor stated.
