Energy analyst and Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Security (IES), Nana Amoasi VII, has stated that the government did no wrong in renaming the AMERI power plants to Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP).<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the renaming of the Africa and Middle East Resource Investment (AMERI) plants to Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant is \u201cconsistent\u201d with the Volta River Authority\u2019s naming patterns of power plants.<\/p>\n

He further explained that Africa and Middle East Resource Investment (AMERI) brought the plants to the country under a \u201cbuilt, own, operate and transfer\u201d agreement and have been officially handed over to the government of Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is absolutely nothing wrong with renaming AMERI,\u201d he said on TV3 News 360<\/strong>, adding that the name AMERI came to be \u201cbecause of the group of people that brought power plants to Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

He added that, \u201cThey agreed that they will bring the plants under a build, own, operate and transfer arrangement\u2026the plants have been transferred to Ghana after five years of operation. And so it is no more owned in any shape by the African Middle East and Resource Investment Company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is owned by Ghana and it\u2019s going to be operated by the VRA,\u201d Nana Amoasi VII stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you watch the pattern of the naming of VRA plants, you will see that this is consistent with that,\u201d the energy analyst emphasised, indicating that \u201cwhen you come to Tema, you will find the Kpone Thermal power station owned by the VRA, you will also find the Tema Thermal 1 power plant owned by the VRA.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will find that in all the naming, they use the location of the plant to name it so if you have Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP) today, it is consistent with what the VRA has been doing over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nana Amoasi VII, therefore, urged the political actors to \u201ctake the political shape out of this discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The energy analyst also maintained that it is imperative economically for the VRA to move the thermal plants to Kumasi to mitigate the power challenges in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been part of our energy planning strategy that reinforces the voltage within the entire grid and you find that almost all the major power plants that we have in Ghana is within the southern belt,\u2019 he said, stressing that power has to be transmitted up to the northern zone.<\/p>\n

A situation Nana Amoasi VII described results in low-voltage power experienced within the middle belt due to long transmission lines.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the VRA has set Wednesday, April 17 for the official commissioning of the K1TPP at Anwomaso in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
