The 2022/2023 batch of National Service Personnel (NSP) at the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) has commissioned a 10,000-liter capacity water storage facility for residents of Prestea in the Western Region of the Republic of Ghana.

The project was financed through self-imposed levies by the 2022/23 service personnel with support from the management of GRIDCo.

The initiative aligns with GRIDCo’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.

It follows a needs assessment by GRIDCo Management which revealed insufficient access to potable water and adequate water storage facilities for the residents of Prestea-Himan Traditional Area.

The 10,000-liter capacity water storage facility has two overhead reservoirs, four water outlets and an in-built connection enabling clean and safe access to the natural water from a spring by the residents.

The facility has undergone testing and has been certified safe for human consumption by the Ghana Water Company LTD.

Speaking at the commissioning of the facility, the President of the 2022/23 National Service Personnel Group, Mr Norviewu Bless Michael said: “GRIDCo aims to touch the lives of the people in its operational area through its CSR policy which emphasises the spirit of community, our colleagues and I want to give back following the completion of our tenure.”

It is the sixth year in succession that NSPs assigned to GRIDCo have supported communities in some of its Operational Areas.

Ms. Florence Agyei, Director of Human Resources, said: “On behalf of the Management and staff of GRIDCo, I commend our GRIDCo 2022/23 NSPs for this impressive show of love for the underserved and underprivileged, which is in line with one of GRIDCo’s Core Values– CARE! We charge you to continue to build on this show of inspirational action to touch lives wherever you find yourselves in the future.”

GRIDCo remains committed to delivering Ghana’s power transmission needs and enhancing the performance of the national grid for the benefit of all.
