Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Minister for Energy, Republic of Ghana.

Ghana’s Minister for Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has commended the Volta River Authority, the state-owned largest power Generation Company in the West African nation, for its commitment to key government initiatives that have been identified to bring about desired transformation and reforms to the energy sector.

The initiatives include programs and projects such as the VRA restructuring exercise, relocation of the AMERI Plant project, T3 repowering project, fuel security in the Western Enclave among others.

The sector Minister noted that when these initiatives are fully implemented they would improve operational efficiencies in the Authority and the sector as a whole.

Addressing stakeholders of VRA at the Authority’s 13th Stakeholders’ interface held recently at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, the Minister indicated that his outfit would continue to provide policy guidance towards the development of these energy sector activities to ensure that the projects and programs come to fruition.

The Board Chairman, Mr. Kofi Tutu Agyare in his statement said VRA has continued to make progress due to the unflinching commitment and dedication of the Management Team and Staff.

“They have not lost sight of the strategic objectives of the organisation. I thank them for their diligence and co-operation,” he said.
