Kpone Thermal Plant Manager asserts improvement in energy generation

The Manager of the Kpone Thermal Plant, Francis Agbenyo, says power generation in the country has improved considerably over the past few days.

This is due to improved generation capacity following the one hundred and fifty million cubic feet of gas from Nigeria and the Atuabo Gas Plant which has also come on stream. 

Mr. Agbenyo welcomed the supply of gas from Nigeria but added that sustainability is not clear. He said the current generation will stabilize the power sector. 

On the Akosombo water level, Mr. Agbenyo said, it has started raining heavily in the North and this will be harvested for next year. 

He hoped that Akosombo will produce enough power for distribution.

Mr. Agbenyo said 220 megawatts of power will be generated from the Kpone Thermal Plant in the last quarter of the year.
