True to Vice President 's promise to pilot a solar-powered outboard motor ahead of a full implementation next year, a pilot scheme has been successfully run in the Central Region.
The pilot carried out in Apam, saw the outboard motor operated successfully by a solar-powered battery without requiring premix fuel to power it.
About two months ago, during his campaign tour of the Central Region, Dr.
Bawumia announced how he had held discussions for the implementation of solar-powered outboard motors to ease fisherfolks across the country from the previous premix fuel problems which have impeded the smooth operations of fisherfolks.
