The government of Ghana, recently relocated the 470-megawatt Krandeniz Powership, Osman Khan.

The Powership arrived at the anchorage of the Home Port of the Western Naval Command at Sekondi, in the Western Region, on Thursday, August 15, 2019.

It was moved from the Tema Port to its current destination and it was expected to continue to use heavy fuel oil (HFO) until the middle of November 2019 when it will be connected to natural gas.

It will require 90 million standard cubic feet of gas daily (MMSCFD). This is in line with the government’s plans to ensure full utilization of gas resources from the Western enclave of the country.
