Ghana is looking for its electricity power crisis to improve. Symbion Power will construct 450 megawatts power plant in Ghana, to start next year.

“The project estimated to cost 700 million dollars will help boost the government effort at meeting the energy needs of the country and create hundreds of jobs in the country.,” reports Ghana Web.

Symbion Power and the government of Ghana last month signed a letter of intent after months of negotiation between the chief executive officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Center Mawuena Trebarh and officials of Symbion.

Deputy chief executive officer of Symbion Energy, William Olukoya told Joy News the actual construction begins next year.

“We are currently finalizing the paper work and in some few months work will start on the project which we believe will significantly meet some of the Ghana’s energy needs,” he added.

“Wherever we operate, we have always made it a point to employ over 90 percent of our staff locally with few expatriates joining and we intend to do same in Ghana,” said William Olukoya who doubles as the Chief Financial Officer of Symbion.
