The Volta River Authority, Ghana’s largest state-owned power generation company, has announced the resumption of public visits to its generating stations for students, professionals, stakeholders, and the general public.
VRA operates the Akosombo and Kpong hydroelectric power dams, with a total generation capacity of 1,180 MW.
Besides hydropower, VRA also operates solar plants in Lawra, Kaleo, and Navrongo.
According to a statement signed by David Adomako Mensah, Director of Corporate Affairs & External Relations Department, the initiative aims to foster transparency, public engagement, and education about the company’s operations and contribution to Ghana’s energy sector.
“All visits will be carefully coordinated to ensure the safety of both visitors and staff, preserve the operational integrity of our installations, and comply with all relevant regulatory requirements.”
To streamline the process, a Generation Facility Visit Policy has been developed.
To schedule a tour, a formal request must be made in a letter addressed to the Chief Executive, sent at least 10 working days prior to the requested visit date.
Once approved, visitors will be notified of the necessary processes and protocols, including identification requirements, visit protocols, and fees charged per age and/or category.
VRA remains committed to adding value to lives while maintaining the highest safety standards as it powers economies.
