Turkey is building two electricity-generating vessels to produce power to Ghana that is equivalent to more than one-fifth of the West African country’s electricity needs.

Karadeniz Energy Group, the energy wing of the Turkey-based Karadeniz Holding, is spearheading the construction project and when it becomes operational will contribute up to 450 megawatts of power to Ghana’s national electricity grid.

“Karpowership Ghana Company will be supporting the Electricity Company of Ghana and the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, while providing a turnkey solution to deliver fast-track electricity to meet the country’s high energy demand,” company director Patrick O’Driscoll told Anadolu Agency.
