Ghana begun building the 200 MW Norbert Anku solar park

The Ghanaian government has broken ground on the country’s 200 MW Norbert Anku solar park, located in the Dawa Industrial Enclave within the Greater Accra region. Solar for Industries Ltd., a subsidiary of Ghanaian conglomerate LMI Holdings, is developing the project in two 100 MW phases. The first phase is slated for completion by December 2026, with the second expected to connect to the grid nine months later. The project's capacity will be expanded to 1 GW by 2032, making it the largest solar farm in sub-Saharan Africa outside of South Africa.

International Finance Corp., Enclave Power Co., John Murphy Construction, China International Water and Electric Corp., and SgurrEnergy are listed as implementing partners. Once the project is operational, companies in the Dawa Industrial Enclave will benefit from a 10% discount on the power generated.
