A proposed 500-megawatt power facility using organic materials could transform economic prospects for Ghana's Oti Region by delivering consistent electricity to support round-the-clock industrial operations.
Simon Madjie from the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat told attendees at a Ghana Investment Promotion Centre event in Dambai that the installation would decrease dependence on conventional power sources while opening pathways for local commerce and job creation. Officials are partnering with traditional leaders in Damanko within Nkwanta North District to grow between 25,000 and 30,000 hectares of Napier grass as fuel for the generating station.
Nana Mprah Besemuna III, previously serving as head of the regional chiefs council, backed the initiative because the current electrical service remains unreliable and insufficient. The Krachi-Wura anticipates that the plant will enable manufacturers and other enterprises to function continuously, spurring regional development through expanded employment and business activity. Implementation of the venture is awaited with considerable interest across the area.
