The Volta River Authority (VRA), the state power generation company in the Republic of Ghana, registered its presence at the just-ended 25th Africa Energy Forum hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa.
The Forum, which started on Tuesday, June 20, successfully ended on Friday, June 23, 2023.
The Authority shone at the event when its former CEO, Kweku Awotwi, was given a lifetime award for his contributions to Africa’s energy sector alongside Mr Andrews Herscowitz, former Coordinator of the US Power Africa Programme.
Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa, Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, led a four-member delegation including Chief Musa Badimsugru Adam, a board member, to represent the Authority.
This year’s Africa Energy Forum, which was hosted in Kenya for the first time in Africa, attracted more than 4,000 delegates from Africa and other parts of the world.
The Forum brought together government officials, utilities, regulators, development finance institutions, commercial banks, power developers, technology providers, engineering, procurement, construction companies (EPCs) and professional services.
During the forum, Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa held meetings with officials of Synergy Consulting, an independent international Financial Advisory Services Company, and Elecnor, the contractor who executed the Solar PV farm in Kaleo and Lawra, Ghana.
Mr Antwi-Darkwa also met with officials of Kenya Electricity and Generation Company (KenGen) to discuss future partnerships.
