The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, says the government is planning to add more than 1,000 megawatts of electricity generation capacity in Kumasi as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s energy sector and support industrial growth.
According to the minister, Kumasi is increasingly emerging as a strategic centre for commerce, industrialisation, and energy development due to its location and expanding economic activities.
Speaking during an engagement in Kumasi, Dr Jinapor stated that the city is gradually evolving into a major industrial and energy hub.
“Kumasi is becoming not just a commercial hub, it is becoming an energy industrial hub. Very soon, we are going to have more than 1,000 megawatts situated here in Kumasi. So it’s a strategic location,” he said.
He explained that ongoing investments in the city form part of broader government efforts aimed at improving infrastructure and accelerating industrialisation.
“So really here is becoming an industrial hub and like I said, this is my second time coming here but this is my third time. I visited here in the night… it’s not every time I want the media to capture everything you are doing. So we are doing a lot in Kumasi,” he added.
