About

Takoradi (T2) power plant generates electricity from a variety of fuels, including tri-fuel compatible natural gas, fuel oil or distillate-light crude. 

TAQA received Ghanaian parliamentary approval in July 2012 to convert the facility from a simple-cycle to a combined-cycle generation facility, which increased the net generating capacity from 220 MW to approximately 330 MW without an increase in fuel consumption. The company, along with the Volta River Authority, completed the expansion in October 2015.

The expansion project supports the Ghanaian government’s efforts to develop the country’s electricity sector and promote the use of indigenous natural gas supplies.

TAQA has a 90% interest in the Takoradi T2 plant. The Volta River Authority (VRA), a state-owned entity, owns the remaining 10%. All power produced from the Takoradi T2 facility is sold under a 25-year power purchase agreement with the VRA.
