A joint technical team from the Ministry of Energy and the Bui Power Authority (BPA) has undertaken a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation exercise to assess the progress of ongoing power generation and renewable energy projects at the Bui Generating Station (BGS) and the Yendi 50MWp Solar Project.

The inspection, conducted from June 16 to 20, 2026, formed part of the Ministry's oversight, monitoring and evaluation mandate aimed at ensuring the successful implementation of strategic energy infrastructure projects across the country.

The Ministry's delegation was led by Ms. Linda Agyepong, Deputy Director of the Policy, Planning, Budgeting, Monitoring and Evaluation (PPBME) Directorate. Other members included Ms. Abibatu Abdulai, Head of Monitoring and Evaluation, and Public Investment Officers Mr. Nana Yaw Yankson and Ms. Swancy Clottey.

The exercise commenced at the Bui Generating Station with an opening session attended by Mr. Cyril Ankra, Director of Power Operations, alongside representatives from the Renewable Energy Department, Engineering Services Department and Power Operations Department.

During the session, Director of Engineering Services, Mr. Kwaku Akosa, delivered a presentation highlighting the Authority's power infrastructure development, current power production levels, maintenance activities and progress on ongoing projects. He also outlined projections for the Authority's future power generation capacity.

Following the presentation, the joint team embarked on site inspections and project tours at both the Bui Generating Station and the Yendi Solar Project. At Bui, the team inspected the 50MWp Solar Expansion Project, the 20MWp Solar Project, as well as operations at the dam and solar facilities.
The team reviewed implementation progress, observed ongoing construction and operational activities, engaged project personnel and received updates on key milestones achieved, as well as challenges requiring attention.

The monitoring and inspection exercise concluded successfully on June 20, 2026, providing the Ministry with firsthand insight into project implementation and operational performance. The exercise also strengthened collaboration between the Ministry and the Bui Power Authority in advancing Ghana's energy development agenda.

Findings and recommendations from the exercise are expected to support enhanced project monitoring, informed decision-making and the timely delivery of critical power and renewable energy projects.
