President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans for Ghana to construct a 1,200-megawatt (MW) state-owned gas-fired thermal power plant, which would become the country's largest single power facility upon completion. The government intends to sign an agreement for the project before the end of 2026, as stated during a town hall meeting with the Ghanaian community in New York.
The new thermal capacity is being added due to changes in the global energy landscape, including the transition towards renewable energy and the increasing adoption of electric vehicles. The President also highlighted that the government aims to avoid investing in power assets that could become stranded as the energy mix changes.
