Kumasi-Anwomaso power upgrade to more than double transmission capacity – Energy Minister

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, has announced that the ongoing Kumasi-Anwomaso Transmission Line Upgrade Project will significantly increase electricity transmission capacity in Kumasi and the wider Ashanti Region.

Dr Jinapor said the K1-K2 Project, which is currently in its final phase of construction, will replace the ageing 19-kilometre single-circuit transmission line with a modern double-circuit system capable of carrying 978MVA of power.

In a post on Facebook on Thursday, July 16, the Minister said the upgrade will replace the existing 364MVA line with a higher-capacity 2x488MVA transmission system, more than doubling the current capacity.
