The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, is set to embark on a working tour of key electricity infrastructure projects in Kumasi on Friday May 8,2026 to inspect ongoing transformer upgrade and replacement works as well as other critical energy projects aimed at improving power supply and reliability in the Ashanti Region.
The tour will begin with an inspection of the transformer upgrade works at the Ridge Substation, where the Minister is expected to assess progress and engage engineers and project officials on ongoing interventions.
Dr. Jinapor will also inspect the Anwomaso–Boadi–Kaase sub-transmission line project being undertaken by Avensis.
As part of the visit, the Minister will tour facilities at AKSA and CENIT to familiarize himself with power generation support activities.
The working visit will further include an inspection of the Anwomaso–Airport sub-transmission line project, where officials are expected to brief the Minister on the status of work and its anticipated impact on electricity distribution within the metropolis.
The tour will conclude with a press briefing and a meeting with district managers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) at the Airport Roundabout in Kumasi.
Government says the inspections form part of broader efforts to strengthen power infrastructure, improve system reliability, and address growing electricity demand in rapidly expanding urban centres.
