President John Dramani Mahama and the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, on April 23, 2026, inspected the deployment of distribution transformers in areas served by the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) in northern Ghana. The inspection aimed to assess progress in improving electricity access and reliability in the region.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, the initiative is part of a broader government effort to enhance power distribution infrastructure, particularly in underserved areas. The deployment includes new transformers to replace outdated equipment and expand capacity to meet growing demand.
During the inspection, Mahama emphasized the importance of reliable electricity for economic development and urged NEDCo to expedite installations. Jinapor noted that the government is committed to ensuring that all communities benefit from improved power supply, aligning with the country's green transition goals.
NEDCo officials reported that the deployment is on schedule, with several transformers already installed and operational. The project is expected to benefit thousands of households and businesses in the region, reducing outages and supporting local economic activities.
