Government to connect 206 Volta communities to national grid within six months – Energy Minister

Speaking at the sensitisation and launch of the project in Ho on Sunday, August 30, 2026, Mr Jinapor said the initiative forms part of the government’s flagship Big Push programme aimed at accelerating electricity access across the country.

He said government had allocated GH¢598 million to the Volta Region project, describing the investment as part of efforts to close the electricity access gap and extend development opportunities to underserved communities.

The government is set to extend electricity to 206 unelectrified communities across 18 districts in the Volta Region under the Rural Electricity Acceleration and Urban Intensification Initiative (REIP).
