Karpowership Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to meeting Ghana’s energy needs and scaling its impact across Africa with reliable, scalable and innovative energy solutions that support industrialisation, drive economic growth and enhance energy security across the continent.

The company therefore gave an assurance that said it would consciously and consistently focus on role in the country’s energy mix, currently supplying over 12 per cent of its total energy need, to help the country realise its development agenda.

This was shared by the Project Manager at Karpowership Ghana, Michelle Hazel, during a high-level panel session at the just-ended West African Mining and Power Expo (WAMPEX 2025), held last Thursday in Accra.

Ms. Hazel joined a  panel of energy sector leaders, including Mensah Adjei, the Member of Parliament for Wassa East and former Deputy Minister of Roads and Highways, and the acting Director of Power at the Ministry of Energy, Sulemana Abubakar.

The discussion, moderated by a legal practitioner and analyst, Kwame Jantuah, centred around the theme:

“Aligning West Africa’s Energy Sector with Manufacturing Competitiveness.”

Representing Karpowership Ghana, Ms Hazel underscored the company’s significant role in Ghana’s energy mix.

She emphasised that Karpowership’s ability to deliver dependable and uninterrupted power had been a key driver of Ghana’s energy stability, critical for sectors such as mining and manufacturing that require consistent energy supply to operate efficiently.

“Reliability is not just a promise; it is our track record,” Ms Hazel stated. “Our performance in Ghana has not only stabilised power supply but has earned us the confidence across the subregion.”

She explained that Karpowership’s unique floating power plant model, which houses 24 independent engines, allows for rotational maintenance and dependable baseload plant without shutting down operations—ensuring continuous power generation.

“Unlike the conventional land-based power plants, Karpowership’s unique technology allows it to be available all year round with at least 93 per cent capacity without a complete shutdown for maintenance.

That’s a game-changer for reliability in Ghana’s power sector,” she affirmed.

Ms. Hazel also emphasised that Karpowership’s commitment to operational excellence was evident across the 16 countries where the company operates, ensuring a steady and scalable electricity supply to diverse markets.

Touching on macroeconomic dynamics, she welcomed the recent appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi and improved revenue collection by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) as positive developments for the sector.

“When ECG is able to pay invoices on time and the cedi performs strongly, it sends the right signals to investors that Ghana is a credible and stable environment for energy investment,” she noted.

Beyond its technical contributions, Karpowership Ghana continues to deepen its social impact through various community investment initiatives.

Ms Hazel highlighted projects such as STEM mentorship and empowerment programmes for young girls, scholarships for brilliant needy engineering students, rehabilitation of school infrastructure, and the provision of learning materials as areas the company has deliberately channelled funds to get skilled manpower for Ghana’s development.

“Our solutions are not only technical; they are also deeply human.

“We walk with the communities, empowering them to grow alongside us,” she said.
