In August this year, the Powership departed from the Tema Fishing Harbor to berth at its new location within the Sekondi Naval Base.

The 470-megawatt capacity Karpowership, which was berthed and operating from Tema at 450 megawatts, was to augment the country’s energy supply.

The new vessel replaced a 225 megawatts barge which was delivered in November 2015.

The arrival of the vessel was part of the Power Purchase Agreement signed with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), requiring Karpowership Ghana Company Limited to provide a total of 450MW capacity, and directly feed it into the national grid for 10 years.

Powerships have a range of 30 MW to 470 MW and are delivered ready to operate in less than 60 days.

Currently, Karpowership owns and operates 22 Powerships with an installed capacity exceeding 3,500 MW and another 5,000 MW are under construction or in the pipeline.
