The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has reassured Ghanaians of a stable electricity supply throughout the Christmas season and beyond, following the commencement of tie-in and test run activities at the new AKSA Ahwomaso Power Plant.
In a statement dated Monday, December 22, the Ministry noted that the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) is carefully connecting the plant to the national transmission grid as part of broader system enhancement works aimed at boosting generation capacity and improving reliability.
When fully operational, the AKSA Ahwomaso plant is expected to contribute approximately 141 megawatts (MW) to the national grid, strengthening electricity supply for households, businesses, and industries, particularly across the middle belt.
The Ministry warned that brief and temporary interruptions could occur during the tie-in and testing process but emphasized that these are closely managed to ensure safe and reliable operations.
“The Ministry further assures the public that it will continue to work closely with all sector agencies to sustain the stable power supply throughout the Christmas period and beyond, as has been the case for the larger part of 2025,” the statement read.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to long-term system stability and improved service delivery as part of ongoing efforts to enhance Ghana’s energy infrastructure.
