Ghana’s The Bui Power Authority (BPA) in collaboration with the grid operator is constructing a 50MW Solar PV farm, which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2023.
The plant will include 5km of transmission lines enabling the vast improvement of electricity distribution in the Dagbon area.Samuel Kofi Dzamesi, the Chief Executive Officer of BPA, revealed this development while speaking at a Media Roundtable and Site-Visit Event on the theme: “Powering a Sustainable and Digital Future for West Africa: Pioneering cases from Bui Power Authority, Ghana.”
The event organised by Huawei, BPA, and Mei Energy aimed to showcase to the International community and Ghanaians the progress that has been made in achieving the aims set out in its Renewable Energy Masterplan.
The tour to the hydro-solar PV hybrid (HSH) plant will show how serious Ghana is about keeping its promise to increase access to electricity to 90 per cent by 2024 and to provide universal access by 2025.

The floating solar power plant is an innovative approach of using photovoltaic modules on water infrastructure to conserve land along with an increase in the efficiency of the module. Additionally, the water is also conserved due to the reduction in evaporation of water. This system not only generates clean energy but also frees land space and greenery.
