PARLIAMENTARY SELECT COMMITTEE ON ENERGY INSPECTS BPA'S 50MWp YENDI SOLAR PV PROJECT
On Monday, 26th October 2026, the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy, led by its Chairman, Hon. Emmanuel Kwesi Bedzrah, undertook an inspection visit to the 50MWp Yendi Solar PV Project being developed by the Bui Power Authority (BPA) in Yendi, Northern Region.
The delegation was received by the Director of BPA's Renewable Energy Development Department, Ing. Peter Acheampong, on behalf of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, Ing. Kow Eduakwa Sam. Ing. Acheampong briefed Members on the project's development since construction began on 30th September 2023 and took them through the key components of the facility, including the direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) equipment, internal transmission lines, drainage systems, access roads, and staff accommodation.
He noted that the project was executed entirely by First Sky Limited, a Ghanaian-owned company, drawing on local expertise and technical capacity. The project, he said, demonstrates the growing ability of Ghanaian companies to deliver large-scale energy infrastructure and underscores the value of local participation in the development of the country's energy sector.
At the close of the inspection, Hon. Bedzrah commended BPA for its continued efforts to expand its renewable energy portfolio beyond its established hydropower operations at Bui.
The visit gave Members of the Committee the opportunity to assess the completed facility first-hand and gain insight into the infrastructure and systems that will support its operations.
