ECG boss praises Nana Addo for commissioning 33kV Sub-station at KATH
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has hailed President Akuffo Addo for commissioning of a new 33kV Sub-station at Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) adding that the Greater Kumasi has received a major boost in power supply.
The GH¢3.388 million project according to ECG will massively improve power supply to the largest hospital in the region and its surrounding areas.
The substation was officially opened on Monday October 17, 2022 by President Akufo-Addo during his four-day tour of the Ashanti Region.
The Acting Regional boss for ECG Ingineer Mark Asomani Wiafe in an exclusive interview with OTEC News Kwame Agyenim Boateng disclosed that residents in the Ashanti Region have received a major boost in health care delivery following the completion of the project.
The new primary power sub-station is fitted with 33kV supply to the substation from the existing 2×60 mVA double circuit tower line between Station A and Substation B in Kumasi to meet the increasing needs of consumers.
The project also saw the construction of 11kV offloading circuits to the load centers at KATH, Kejetia, Adum and their surroundings.
Two power transformers, each with a capacity of 20MVA, make a total capacity of 40MVA.
Ingineer Wiafe said the new station targets Kejetia Market, Adum, KATH and its surroundings.
“This power station will improve power supply quality and reliability to the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital”
“ECG will meet the rapid load growth in the Kejetia enclave, Adum, and KATH including key customers such as bankers Telecommunication service, markets among others and improve general power supply in Greater Kumasi”. Ingineer Wiafe said.
