Ghana’s ruling government has concluded plans
to begin export of electric power to Nigeria and
other West African countries by 2015.
The country’s Vice President, Mr John Dramani
Mahama, who unfolded the plan in Accra, on
Tuesday, said the government has already
embarked on extensive expansion of power
infrastructure to enable them achieve the
project.
Mahama explained that a key motivation for the
investment was that Ghana presently has
competitive advantage in the area of power
supply over other neighbouring countries,
including Nigeria, which is still grappling with
massive power deficit for its estimated 150
million citizens. https://www.nairaland.com/826346/nigeria-buy-electricity-ghana-believe

Benin, Togo ask for more power from Ghana.............. "Benin and Togo have made a joint request to the Ghana government to
supply them with more power, since their power situation is more desperate than Ghana’s.

“The situation in Benin and Togo is worse.” Ghana has reduced the contractual supply of power to Benin and Togo from 90 MW to 35 MW after the destruction of a pipeline belonging to the West Africa Gas Pipeline Project (WAGP) in August 2012.

The cut in power supply to the two countries has resulted in massive load shedding and power disruption in Togo
and Benin between eight and 12 hours or more daily.
Mr Kassa(Benin minister for energy) looked worried, apprehensive and expectant when he pleaded with the
minister to compromise and increase the power supply slightly upwards, but
Mr Buah(Ghana minister for Energy) was firm and said Ghana could only help when the situation in the
country normalised.
Mr Buah’s response created more distress for Mr Kassa and his team, who shoved diplomacy aside and displayed
open worry.
