90 Oti communities to benefit from government electrification project

Ninety communities across all nine districts of the Oti Region in Ghana are set to benefit from a government electrification project aimed at expanding electricity access and improving the reliability of existing power networks. The Turnkey Electrification Project, being implemented under the Rural Electricity Acceleration and Urban Intensification Initiative (REIP), was launched in the region as part of efforts to extend electricity to underserved communities and strengthen existing infrastructure.

Deputy Minister of Energy and Green Transition Richard Gyan-Mensah announced that the initiative would address both rural and urban electricity needs, with the rural component extending electricity to communities without access and the urban intensification component improving existing networks to enhance reliability and supply.
