The Acting Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority (VRA), Ing. Edward Ekow Obeng-Kenzo, has emphasized the need for closer collaboration between the VRA and Nuclear Power Ghana (NPG) to enhance energy security in the country.
Obeng-Kenzo made the appeal during a courtesy visit to NPG’s headquarters in Accra, aiming to strengthen ties with key stakeholders in the energy sector. Dr. Stephen Yamoah, Executive Director of Nuclear Power Ghana, welcomed the visit and expressed enthusiasm for deeper collaboration with VRA, particularly in producing low-carbon energy to meet the nation’s growing power demands.
Obeng-Kenzo pledged to work closely with NPG to improve power generation efforts. The VRA CEO also visited Bui Power Authority (BPA) headquarters, where NPG is housed, further cementing the commitment to collaborative efforts in energy production.
Nuclear Power Ghana (NPG) was established in 2018 as the Owner/Operator for Ghana’s first proposed Nuclear Power Plant.
In July 2019, NPG was duly registered under the Companies Code of Ghana as a Limited Liability Company. NPG is housed in BPA Heights II in Accra.
As the Owner/Operator, NPG is responsible for project development and feasibility, plant and site licensing, regulatory compliance, construction, and commissioning, as well as ensuring that the plant is operational, maintained, and decommissioned in compliance with international best practices.
NPG’s activities commenced when some selected staff of Volta River Authority (VRA), Bui Power Authority (BPA), and the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) were identified and seconded to form its initial core staff.
