Shufty of Ghana Kpone Power Plant

Nearly 30 kilometers east of Accra, Ghana, alongside the Gulf of Guinea, an enterprise named Sunon Asogli Power (Ghana) Ltd. Kpone Power Plant is playing a vital role in the west African country's electric power industry that has attracted investments from China's Shenzhen Energy Group and the China-Africa Development Fund.

Its annual output can reach more than 1 billion kilowatt-hour, nearly 15% of Ghana's total electricity supply. As the first step in power cooperation between China and the African nation, the project has gained strong support from the Chinese and Ghanaian governments.

Today, ninety Chinese engineers and management staffers from Shenzhen Energy Group and more than two hundred local employees are working side by side at the plant.

Located in Tema Industrial Zone, the gas-steam combined cycle project covers an area of 200,000 square meters with a potential capacity of 56 megawatts per year. The 20-megawatt first phase began test-run on April 18, 2008, and went into commercial operation on October 12, 2010. The second phase that will add 36 megawatts is conducting a feasibility test.
