The 50-megawatt-peak (MWp) Yendi Solar Farm is expected to strengthen electricity supply in Yendi and surrounding communities while creating employment opportunities and supporting Ghana’s renewable energy drive.
The US$59 million project, developed at Galgu in the Yendi Municipality, is part of efforts to diversify the country’s energy mix and harness the solar potential of Northern Ghana.
The fully operational facility is expected to contribute to electricity supply, particularly in communities along the Eastern Corridor, while supporting economic activities in the area.
The Chairman of Parliament’s Select Committee on Energy and Mines, Mr Emmanuel Bedzrah, expressed satisfaction with the progress of the project and the involvement of a Ghanaian company in its implementation.
