Akufo-Addo appoints Kofi Dzamesi as Bui CEO
President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed former Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister Samuel Kofi Dzamesi as the acting Chief Executive Officer of the Bui Power Authority (BPA).
A letter communicating the appointment was signed by Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare dated 30 July 2021.
“Pursuant to Section 9 (2) of the Bui Power Authority Act, 2007 (Act 740), I am pleased to inform you that the President has appointed you to act as the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority pending receipt of the constitutionally required advice of the Governing Board of the Authority,” the letter stated.
Mr Dzamesi will be taking over from Mr Fred Oware.
The Bui Power Authority was established by an Act of Parliament, BPA Act 740, 2007, with a mandate to plan, execute and manage the Bui Hydroelectric Project, now the Bui Generating Station (BGS).
The BGS is a peaking plant with a capacity to generate 404MW of hydro-generated power, which is evacuated from our 161kV Switchyard.
BPA says it is set to add 250MWp of solar energy to Ghana’s national grid.
To this end, its Switchyard has been expanded to evacuate 250MWp of Solar-generated power.
The initial 50MW Solar Project, which commenced in April 2019, was expected to be operational in 2020.
BPA has completed the construction of the Tsatsadu Micro Hydropower Plant, the first in Ghana, which has the capacity to generate 45kW of power with the possibility of adding another 45kW capacity turbine.
Tsatsadu Falls, on which this plant is constructed, is located at Alavanyo-Abehenease in the Hohoe District of the Volta Region.
