The Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) has completed an $11 million Primary Substation and its associated interconnecting circuits for the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) in Accra, the capital of Ghana.
The project is expected to be commissioned and officially handed over to the authorities of the university on Wednesday, April 27,2022. It was funded through the Millennium Challenge Corporation MCC, a United States agency.
The project is one of the many electric infrastructural assets, which form part of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Financial and Operational Turnaround project of the Ghana Power Compact II.
The substation has a capacity of 52 megavolts amperes and can supply all present and future power needs of the University of Ghana Medical Centre and the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research.
It would also serve as an alternative source of power supply to other institutions and surrounding communities.
