The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has successfully completed its longest in-house transmission line project to date. The 4-kilometre, 161kV Yendi Solar transmission line was constructed and integrated into the Tamale-Yendi transmission network by GRIDCo's technical teams. This achievement underscores GRIDCo's expanding capacity to manage significant transmission infrastructure projects independently.
The project's execution encompassed multiple stages, such as tower erection, line stringing, testing, commissioning, and energisation, along with the integration of a 66MVA transformer into the transmission network. According to GRIDCo, this accomplishment highlights the company's growing technical prowess and its role in enhancing Ghana's transmission infrastructure and promoting renewable energy integration.
The completed line is anticipated to facilitate the incorporation of renewable energy sources, specifically the Yendi Solar project, into Ghana's nationwide electricity grid.
