President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, yesterday inaugurated two key energy projects in the Ashanti Region to enhance energy supply to the middle and northern belts.
The projects are the 110- kilometre natural gas pipelines constructed by Genser Energy in the Ejisu Municipality and the 250 megawatts (MW) Africa and Middle East Resource Investment (AMERI) Thermal Power Plant, now christened Kumasi 1Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP).
The pipelines, made up of 12,000 steel pipes, will drive the full exploitation of local gas resources to connect the Ejisu Plant Metering Station to serve the 250 megawatts thermal plant.
It is expected to generate a minimum of 250MW of power required in the Ashanti Region to guarantee reliability and stability in the national grid.
