  • Karpowership Ghana Company Limited has held a series of stakeholder engagements with various community groups within the Sekondi and Takoradi municipality.

    The aim of the Engagement sessions was to sensitize stakeholders in the areas of operations of Karpowership and its contribution to communities.

    He said “Karpowership’s efforts at contributing to the sustainable power supply in the country is well appreciated. In fact, Karpowership has done well by coming to our home to tell us about the Powership.

    “We will tell the members of the community about the Powership, and hope that you will keep us informed about all you do.”

    Mr Francis Eshuw, Chairman of the Inshore Fishing Association, said they are happy to know such innovative project was going to stay in their community. He added the association had been well informed of the operations of the Powership.
