According to Episolar, the solar installation will be the largest in west Africa and one of the largest on the continent.
Daniel McCormick, managing partner at Siginik, said: "Ghana is a fast growing economy in great need of power and we are happy we can contribute in a green, efficient way. This will benefit the general Ghanaian community as they can have more consistent power and in the short term, similar to the effects of the Green Energy Act in Ontario, facilitate the creation of a highly skilled green labor force which will be able to build future green and solar projects in the ECOWAS area."
The installation is projected to create roughly 800 highly skilled jobs, including manufacturing, in the Northwest Region of Ghana and Siginik expects to break ground within the next 6 months. Siginik and ECG intend on expanding on this initial project with a view to additional installations in Ghana, a country with ideal solar radiation and increasing power needs.
Energy consumption within Ghana has been growing at 10 percent to 15 percent per year while supply is growing at a significantly lower rate. Experts believe that Ghana needs....Siginik to build 50MW solar installation in Ghana
