  • Hohoe Reservoir, Dayi river
  • Lipke Kukurantumi, Dayi river
  • Wli Falls, Nuboi river
  • Tsatsudo Falls, Tsadudo river
  • Dodi Papase, Asukawkaw river
  • Ahamasu 1, Asukawkaw river
  • Ahamasu 2, Asukawkaw river
  • Menusu, Menu river
  • Afife dam, Klipka river

The preliminary study consists in:

  • the determination of the amount of the monthly average flow rate for the single analysed river
  • the identification of the usable flow rate for the production of electricity
  • the identification of the type of the equipment to use
  • the approximate costs for the construction of the single plant and the economic analysis of the plant

The sites were recommended by a feasibility study developed by the Ghanaian government to improve the production of renewable energy.

EQO Project was asked to

  • estimate the potential annual power generation in kWh
  • compile general criteria for the realization of the power plants
  • evaluate the project impact on environment and landscape
  • rate the potential development of the hydrologic cycle in respect of drinking water supply and wastewater management.

A visit report was hand in to the Ghanaian partners and a continuative survey by EQO Project of the potential sites is planned for March 2015.

Read  the press release about the visit to Ghana on Citifmonline.com and get background information bout EQO Project’s Waterworks Energy project on eqoproject.com.

Small power plants can be fundamental for the development of small and marginal communities which are not fully connected to major infrastructure networks.
In summary, small investment quick returns.
