Solar Power Plant Construction for Appolonia City, in Ghana Begins

The future of solar power has been initiated as Axcon Energy Limited has begun the construction of a solar power plant for Apolonia City. Apolonia city is an establishment located in Accra and it is a 941-hectare mixed-income and mixed-use urban development.

The future solar power plant constructed in the Appolonia industrial park is anticipated to bring 5MW of renewable energy to businesses and homeowners in the new city.

According to the CEO of Axcon Energy “the new plant will satisfy load growth and provide clean and reliable power for Apolonia City, especially for businesses in Appolonia Industrial Park.”

He concluded saying, “We are excited to be doing this in Appolonia City because its well-structured utility delivery plan and commitment to renewable energy solutions are commendable.”

Distribution of the electricity generated by the plant

The electricity generated from the solar power plant will be connected on the 11kV side of the dedicated 33/11kV substation within Appolonia City from where it will then be distributed to the homes and industrial clients through City’s electricity distribution network.

Presently, Appolonia City receives electricity supply from the national grid via a 33kv overhead line, serving a dedicated 60MVA primary substation.

Appolonia City CEO Mr. Bright Owusu-Amofah said that this project is good news for the industrial and residential owners in the mixed-use and mixed-income urban development.

He further explained saying, “One of our objectives is to provide world-class utility services to our residents, and solar power will boost the existing reliable power supply within the city, present superior value to our residents, and underpin our renewable energy strategy”.
