My gratitude goes to our American partners and Her Excellency Virginia Palmer, the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, for their steadfast support and presence on this historic occasion' according to president Akufo-Addo. He stressed "This project stands as a testament to our resilience and ambition. It represents a shift away from the energy crises of the past, particularly the difficult
years of "dumsor" between 2012 and 2016, which disrupted lives and livelihoods. Today, we send a clear message: Ghana will no longer be held back by energy shortages. The Bridge Power Station provides critical megawatts to the national grid, ensuring greater power stability for homes and businesses alike. Reliable electricity is the backbone of national development-it powers industries, illuminates classrooms, and supports hospitals". He said the impact of this facility extends far beyond industry and enables hospitals to deliver life-saving care, schools to prepare our future leaders, and rural communities to thrive. The Bridge Power Station is also a step toward sustainability, showcasing our commitment to an efficient energy mix with lower carbon emissions. "This achievement reinforces our dedication to building a greener, healthierfuture for generations to come. As we celebrate this monumental milestone, let us remember that reliable power fuels opportunity, prosperity, and dignity for every Ghanaian. Together, we will continue to build a self-sufficient and globally competitive Ghana" he stated.
