The Bulk Power Supply (BPS) point being constructed at Pokuase in the Greater Accra Region is 95 per cent complete and on schedule to be handed over to the government by the end of July this year.
According to the site engineers, all other ancillary facilities to support the full function of the system had been completed.
The Technical Controller at the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA), Mr William Amuna, gave the assurance when and the team working on the project received the Minister of Energy, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh, on a visit to the project site last Tuesday.
Mr Amuna said but for the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Ghana, which he said had forced the suspension of work for a while and delayed the supply of materials from China, the project would have been completed earlier.
