A five-member delegation from West Japan Engineering Consultants Inc. (West JEC)–the firm responsible for the design and supervision of the construction of the Accra Central Substation Bulk Supply Point—has paid a working visit to the Ghana Grid Company office in Accra.
The delegation was received by Ing Francis Arthur, Manager, Project Management Section (Engineering Department), Ing Benjamin Ahunu, Accra Area Manager, and Cyril King, Accra Area Operating Supervisor.
The purpose of visiting the Accra Central BSP was to gain first-hand information on the state of affairs of the facility since it was commissioned and operationalised in 2018, a post on GRIDCo Facebook page sighted by energynewsafrica.com explained.
The Accra Central substation was constructed with support from the Government of Japan through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Speaking after touring the facility, Mr Kenji Sakemura, Senior Electrical Engineer & Acting General Manager, in charge of the Overseas Group at West JEC, said, “I am generally impressed by the facility’s set-up and maintenance regime for optimal operations.”
The operationalisation of the substation has improved power supply reliability to the Central Business District (CBD) of Accra and the North Industrial Area, with stable voltage levels with minimal transmission and distribution losses.
