Ghana and Japan have signed a $13.44 million grant agreement to enhance power supply stability in Tamale City.
Through this partnership, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will support the construction of a new substation and power distribution lines, strengthening the region’s electricity infrastructure.
The agreement was signed by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Minister for Finance, on behalf of the Government of Ghana, and Her Excellency Suzuki Momoko, Chief Representative of JICA, on behalf of Japan.
According to the minister, the project is a major step towards economic development, job creation, and improved livelihoods in the Northern Region, ensuring businesses, households, and essential services have access to reliable electricity.
He indicated that the partnership reflects Japan’s continued commitment to supporting Ghana’s development. Once completed, the project will play a key role in bridging Ghana’s energy gap and boosting industrialisation.
