The total net annual electricty generation for all units is estimated at 22,574 MWh. The power output is exported to the national grid of Ghana.
The project is expected to generate 8,948 tonnes of CO2e of emissions reductions each year, which was in incentive for its inclusion on the Standard Bank Renewable Energy Programme. The Standard Bank aims to promote and support the implementation of grid-connected electricity generation plants/units from renewable energy sources.
Standard Bank Plc will act as the Coordinating / Managing entity (CME) for this PoA. Standard Bank Plc or any of its affiliate will act as the Programme Manager and will assess project activities before submission to the DOE for CPA inclusion. In quality of programme manager, it will be the responsibility of the CME to:

The project aims to develop 10MW of PV plant capacity in Northern Ghana in the NEDCo areas of operation. The technical and financial feasibility of deploying a Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant in the NEDCo areas would be examined and detailed specifications would be developed based on the findings of the feasibility study. Four sites in the environs of Kaleo (near WA), Lawra, Jirapa and Navrongo have been identified and acquired for a total of 10MWp PV plants.
Contract has already been awarded for the construction of 2 MWp at Navrongo which is expected to be completed in 2013. VRA is seeking concessionary funding to develop the remaining 8 MWp.
