Ghana’s energy sector gets a boost with commissioning of bridge power plant
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, commissioned the $1.2 billion Bridge Power Plant in Tema on November 19, 2024, marking a monumental achievement in Ghana’s pursuit of energy security and economic growth.


The 515-megawatt combined-cycle power plant, developed in partnership with Early Power Ltd. and Endeavour Energy, is now one of the country’s largest and most advanced power facilities.


The commissioning of the plant is a fulfillment of a vision set in April 2017 when the project broke ground.

The facility represents Ghana’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology and innovative energy solutions to meet its growing electricity demands.


“Today, we celebrate a transformative step forward in our journey toward energy independence. Reliable power is the backbone of development, and this facility is proof that Ghana is ready to overcome the challenges of the past and embrace a brighter future,” President Akufo-Addo said during the ceremony.


The President recalled the challenging periods of “dumsor” (frequent power outages) under the previous administration, which disrupted lives and businesses across the country.

He assured Ghanaians that the Bridge Power Plant would provide stable electricity, reducing the strain on the national grid and addressing the energy deficits that once hindered economic progress.


“This plant is more than a source of power; it is a beacon of hope and a testament to what we can achieve through strategic partnerships and a clear vision,” he remarked.


The Bridge Power Plant is designed to integrate seamlessly into Ghana’s energy mix, providing efficient and environmentally sustainable electricity. Its cutting-edge technology ensures lower carbon emissions, aligning with the government’s commitment to a greener future.


President Akufo-Addo highlighted the plant’s potential to drive industrial growth by supplying reliable power to factories, hospitals, schools, and households.

The facility will also support rural electrification efforts, bringing electricity to remote areas and improving the quality of life for underserved communities.


“The power generated here will fuel an industrial revolution, creating jobs, attracting foreign investment, and laying the foundation for sustained economic growth,” he added.


The President commended Endeavour Energy and its partners for their unwavering dedication to the project. He also acknowledged the contributions of Ghanaian engineers and workers who played a crucial role in bringing the facility to life.


Looking ahead, President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to addressing financial challenges in the energy sector and strengthening partnerships with Independent Power Producers (IPPs).

He called on all stakeholders to work collaboratively to maintain the facility and support Ghana’s energy ambitions.


The commissioning of the Bridge Power Plant marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s energy journey. It signals a new era of resilience, sustainability, and progress, paving the way for a future where energy shortages are a thing of the past.


“This plant stands as a symbol of what Ghana can achieve when united by a shared purpose. It is with immense pride that I declare the Bridge Power Plant officially commissioned,” President Akufo-Addo concluded.
