VRA Engages Asuogyaman District Assembly on Proposed Floating Solar Power Project

The Volta River Authority (VRA) has initiated discussions with the Asuogyaman District Assembly on the proposed development of a floating solar power project on the Volta Lake, aimed at expanding renewable energy generation in Ghana.
On Tuesday, 20 October 2026, a delegation from the VRA paid a courtesy call on the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Asuogyaman, Hon. Godwin Bobobee, to brief him on the proposed project and seek the Assembly's support and input on its implementation.
The proposed project, known as the Solar Island Project, will involve the installation of solar panels on sections of the Volta Lake to generate clean and sustainable electricity. The initiative forms part of efforts to diversify the country's energy mix while promoting environmentally friendly power generation.
During the engagement, Hon. Bobobee welcomed the initiative and acknowledged its potential contribution to national development and energy security. However, he stressed the need for the project developers to pay particular attention to the socio-economic impact the project may have on communities whose livelihoods depend heavily on fishing activities on the lake.
According to the DCE, the placement of solar panels on portions of the water body could affect fishing operations, as fish may congregate beneath the solar structures, making access difficult for local fishermen. He therefore called on the VRA to develop alternative livelihood programmes for affected residents to ensure that no community is disadvantaged by the project.
"While we appreciate the importance of renewable energy development, we must also safeguard the livelihoods of our people. Fishing remains the primary source of income for many families along the Volta Lake, and measures must be put in place to support them if their economic activities are affected," he noted.
Hon. Bobobee further advocated for the creation of employment opportunities for residents within the project catchment communities. He urged VRA to prioritise local labour during both the construction and operational phases of the project to enable community members to benefit directly from the investment.
The DCE also appealed for educational support for children in communities likely to be impacted by the project. He encouraged VRA to consider scholarship schemes, school infrastructure improvement programmes, and other social interventions aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for young people in the area.
The discussions highlighted the importance of balancing environmental sustainability, economic development, and community welfare in the implementation of major infrastructure projects. Both parties expressed their commitment to continued stakeholder engagement to ensure that the project delivers long-term benefits while addressing the concerns of affected communities.
The proposed Solar Island Project is expected to undergo the necessary environmental and social impact assessments before implementation, with stakeholder consultations remaining a key component of the planning process.
Ends.

DCE Hon. Godwin Bobobee Highlights Investment and Supply Chain Opportunities at IFPSM World Summit 2026 in Akosombo

AKOSOMBO, EASTERN REGION – The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Asuogyaman, Hon. Godwin Bobobee, has urged stakeholders across the globe to prioritise efficient and integrated supply chain systems as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth and development.

Hon. Bobobee made these remarks during the IFPSM World Summit 2026, held at the Peninsula Resort in Akosombo from 12th to 18th October 2026 under the theme: “Integrated Supply Chain Management: The Panacea for Global Sustainable Growth.”
Representing the Eastern Regional Minister, Hon. Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, the DCE conveyed the Minister's warm greetings to participants from across the world and extended her sincere apologies for her inability to attend the summit in person.
Addressing delegates, Hon. Bobobee underscored the critical role of supply chain management in driving economic transformation, facilitating trade, and ensuring the efficient movement of goods and services across nations.
He noted that an effective supply chain remains the backbone of global commerce, connecting producers to consumers and enabling businesses, industries, and economies to thrive.
According to him, for developing countries such as Ghana, efficient supply chain systems are particularly important in ensuring the seamless movement of food and essential commodities across the country, reducing post-harvest losses, and improving access to markets for farmers and businesses.

Hon. Bobobee also used the occasion to highlight the Government's 24-Hour Economy policy, describing it as a transformative initiative aimed at boosting productivity, creating jobs, promoting industrialisation, and strengthening Ghana's position as a competitive destination for trade and investment.
Welcoming participants to Asuogyaman District, he described the area as one of Ghana's most attractive destinations for tourism, business, and investment.
“Welcome to Asuogyaman in the Eastern Region, where the sun rises. Welcome to Akosombo, the pride of Ghana's hydroelectric power generation and a destination renowned for its natural beauty, tourism potential, and hospitality,” he said.
The DCE commended the International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management (IFPSM) for selecting Akosombo as the venue for its global summit, stressing that the district's strategic location and growing economic significance made it an ideal setting for discussions on international supply chain management.
Hon. Bobobee further took the opportunity to promote the upcoming Akosombo Business and Investment Forum, which seeks to attract local and foreign investors to explore opportunities within the district.
He highlighted the vast investment potential in sectors including agriculture, agribusiness, aquaculture, hospitality, tourism, and related value chains, noting that Asuogyaman remains one of Ghana's emerging investment destinations.
The DCE emphasised the district's growing transportation and logistics advantages, pointing to the railway connection linking Tema Port to Mpakadan in the Asuogyaman District. He explained that the rail network, coupled with transportation on the Volta Lake, provides an efficient multimodal transport corridor for moving goods from the southern part of Ghana to the northern sector of the country.
He said this strategic infrastructure presents significant opportunities for trade, logistics, and industrial growth, while positioning Asuogyaman as an important hub within Ghana's evolving supply chain and transportation network.
The summit brought together procurement and supply chain professionals, policymakers, business leaders, academics, and industry experts from around the world to discuss innovative strategies for strengthening global supply chains and advancing sustainable economic growth.
Hon. Bobobee reaffirmed the Asuogyaman District Assembly's commitment to creating an enabling environment for investment and partnerships that will drive economic progress and improve the livelihoods of residents.
As discussions continued at the summit, participants were encouraged to leverage collaboration, innovation, and technology-driven solutions to build resilient supply chains capable of supporting sustainable growth in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
