"We see so much potential for power generation because the current overall national power deficit is about 360 MW and renewable energy for example can offset over 90% of this deficit," explains Omane Frimpong, CEO of Wilkins Engineering, the right partner for electricity engineering projects in West Africa.

"Secondly, the power transmission and distribution network suffers a lot of power losses and the culminating effect as we all know is a very low overall network efficiency," he continues.

"From my point of view, immediate investment is needed in the transmission and distribution network because once the network efficiency improves, the overall power deficit will surely improve and the actual power demand will be known and addressed appropriately," adds Frimpong.
