The project is a clear indication of Government’s commitment to improving electricity supply in the country.

The Pokuase BSP, with a total capacity of five hundred and eighty million volt-amps (580MVA), whose construction commenced in February 2019, is the largest in Ghana.

According to the President, the project is the first three hundred and thirty kilo-volt (330kV) Bulk Supply Point in the capital, and it is the most technologically advanced substation in Ghana.

He added that the essence of constructing the sub-station is to improve power supply quality and reliability to some three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) existing customers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in Pokuase, Kwabenya, Legon, Nsawam and neighbouring communities.

He said the project was also planned to reduce significantly technical losses in the Ghana Grid Company’s (GRIDCo) transmission system and the ECG power distribution system, ultimately contributing to improving their financial viability.
