Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), the power transmission company in the Republic of Ghana, has conducted a pre-inspection of Twin City Energy’s (formerly Amandi Energy) Gas Insulated System (GIS) Substation Facility located at Aboadze in the western part of the West African nation.
The facility is a Combined Cycle Power Plant with an installed capacity of 200 megawatts.
The plant includes a gas turbine and a steam turbine, which can run on both crude oil and natural gas as its primary fuel.
The inspection was led by Ing Ebenezer Essienyi, GRIDCo’s Chief Executive, who was accompanied by Ing Mark Baah, Director of the Southern Network Department; Ing Vincent Boachie, Director of Engineering, a team from the Technical Services Department (TSD), Southern Network Department (SND) and Takoradi Operational Area.
They were received by the Amandi Energy team, led by Ing Richard Badger, General Manager and Director of the Twin City Energy IPP.
Ing Badger said, “The pre-inspection makes room for transitioning the management of the substation facility from Amandi Energy to GRIDCo.”
The Amandi Energy GIS power plant and its balance of plant were energised on May 8, 2019, while full commercial operations commenced on July 30, 2021.
