Background
The Ghanaian project was Karpowership’s first plant in Africa.[5]In June 2014, Karpowership signed a 450 MW contract with Electricity Company of Ghana to deploy a powership for a period of 10 years. The plant is a significant step towards meeting the electricity demand of Ghana. Karpowership is supplying 26% of Ghana’s total electricity needs.[8]In 2017, the plant was completed and launched as the largest powership in Karpowership’s fleet.[5]In 2019, the powership was relocated to Sekondi Naval Base, about 300 kilometers away on Ghana’s southern coast, where it continues producing power using indigenously produced natural gas.[5]
