Ghana, China forge partnership for groundbreaking Nuclear Power Project

In a significant step towards enhancing Ghana’s energy landscape, Nuclear Power Limited Ghana (NPLG) and China National Nuclear Corporation Overseas Limited (CNNC OL) on 23rd April 2024 sealed a collaborative framework for the construction of an HPR1000 nuclear power project.

The HPR1000 reactor, a pressurized water reactor (PWR) developed by China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN), stands as the centerpiece of this landmark initiative.

With CGN’s extensive track record spanning over 30 years in designing, constructing, and operating nuclear power stations in China, the HPR1000 embodies robustness and safety at its core.

This feature underscores the commitment to safety and reliability, crucial factors in the development of nuclear power projects.

The collaboration between NPLG and CNNC OL heralds a new era of cooperation between Ghana and China in the energy sector

As preparations for the construction of the nuclear power plant progress, stakeholders remain committed to adhering to the highest standards of safety, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance

The partnership between NPLG and CNNC OL marks a milestone in Ghana’s energy journey, paving the way for a cleaner, more resilient energy infrastructure powered by nuclear technology.
