  1. Ghana’s Power Outlook

  2. Generation Sources Currently, VRA contributes 83% of the total generation This is expected to drop to 75% at the end of 2013 when all the Bui units are commissioned
  3. Diversification of Supply Sources and Benefits Supply Sources Hydro Thermal – Gas, LCO & DFO fired plants Solar NB: VRA is in the process of upgrading all simple cycle plants to combine cycle plants Benefits Enhancement of supply reliability Supply security Reduction of risk to inflow variability and fuel supply challenges
  4. Current Challenges and Mitigation Measures Challenges Inadequate generation capacity reserve Lack of Gas supply, limiting thermal generation Mitigation Measures VRA is undertaking more generation projects. VRA is planning to add about 1,000 MW of generation capacity over the next 5 years. This includes upgrade of simple cycle plants to combine cycle to reduce cost of supply. Pursuing Solar and wind energy projects To secure future gas supply reliability, VRA is pursuing the use of LNG to generate electricity
  5. VRA Installed Capacity *LCO – Light Crude Oil *DFO – Distillate Fuel Oil
  6. IPP & Other Plants
  7. Demand for 2010 - 2012
  8. Consumption for 2010 – 2012
  9. Energy Supply for 2012-2013 Total supply for 2012 = 12,122 GWh Projected supply for 2013 = 13,502 GWh
  10. Expansion Plan
  11. 2013 – 2025 Energy Demand Forecast
  12. Demand Growth per Customer Class

  13. End of Presentation
