Dis location dey lie approximately , by road, east of de international border plus Ivory Coast.

## Overview
De power station go use a total of 630,000 solar photo voltaic (PV) modules wich, wen na dem struck by sunlight, go generate direct current (DC) electricity. Using inverters, de DC go be converted to alternating current (AC), wich go be fed insyd de national electricity grid, to power an estimated 100,000 homes. Wen dem plete, e go raise Ghana ein national electricity generating capacity by 6%.

## Developers
De developer/owner of de power plant be *Blue Energy Plc.*, a United Kingdom-based renewable energy developer. Na de company, receive regulatory approval from de *Energy Commission* den de *Public Utilities Regulatory Commission*, de two electricity regulators insyd Ghana. A generation licence den a guaranteed feed-in tariff of US$0.20 per kWh for de plant ein 20-year operational life be secured. A power purchase agreement plus de national electrical supplier ECG, sanso be secured. *Mere Power Nzema Limited*, na dem form a special vehicle subsidiary of Blue Energy Plc., to develop, build, operate den own de power station. Na e lease  near de village of Aiwiaso insyd de Western Region of Ghana for a period of 50 years to build de power station.

Power station

A **power station**, dem sanso refer to am as a **power plant** den sometimes **generating station** anaa **generating plant**, be an industrial facility for de generation of electric power. Power stations be generally connected to an electrical grid.

Chaw power stations contain one anaa more generators, rotating machine wey dey convert mechanical power into three-phase electric power. De relative motion between a magnetic field wey a conductor dey create an electric current.

De energy source dem harness to turn de generator dey vary widely. Chaw power stations insyd de world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, den natural gas to generate electricity. Low-carbon power sources dey include nuclear power, den use of renewables such as solar, wind, geothermal, den hydroelectric.

## History
Insyd early 1871 na Belgian inventor Zénobe Gramme invent a generator powerful enough to produce power on a commercial scale for industry.

Insyd 1878, na a hydroelectric power station be designed den built by William, Lord Armstrong at Cragside, England. E use water from lakes on ein estate to power Siemens dynamos. Na de electricity supply power to lights, heating, produce hot water, run an elevator as well as labor-saving devices den farm buildings.

Dem dey store oil insyd four storage tanks plus a capacity of  each. De secondary fuel be distillate fuel oil, wich dem dey use for start-up den shutdown of de plant. As de plant get dual firing capacity, e sanso fi run on natural gas.

De second plant get a capacity of 220&nbsp;MW, plus a future expansion up to 330&nbsp;MW. E be owned den operated by Takoradi International Company, a joint venture of de Volta River Authority (10%) den CMS Generation, a subsidiary of TAQA.

De third plant go be a 132&nbsp;MW combined cycle power plant. E go consist of four gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators den one steam turbine. De plant go be operated by de Volta River Authority. Engineering, Procurement, den Construction (EPC) for de project be carried out by HPI, LLC insyd consortium plus S&W Solutions, both Texas companies. Ein cost be $185&nbsp;million.
