The energy industry contributes significantly to Ghana’s rapidly developing domestic economy. Ntrakwah & Co. and its experienced team of lawyers can help you and your business deal with this extremely crucial Ghanaian sector.
The various sources of energy in Ghana
Historically, Hydroelectricity has been the primary source of Ghana’s power, and has been generated by the Volta River Authority (VRA). The Electricity Company of Ghana distributes electricity mainly in the southern sector of the country, while the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), a subsidiary of VRA, undertakes the distribution function in northern Ghana covering the Upper East, the Upper West, Northern and Brong Ahafo regions, as well as parts of the Ashanti and Volta Regions. In recent times, Ghana’s thermal generating capacity has been increased substantially.
