Transmission Facilities

Work on the transmission lines involving the proposed line route survey was completed in July 2008. Subsequently, line route validation, minor realignments and modification was carried out and completed in January 2010.

The transmission lines are:

18.6 km Bui – Teselima Transmission Line I, to cut into Techiman-Sawla line to become

     Bui- Teselima -Techiman

17.2 km Bui – Teselima Transmission Line 2, to cut into Techiman-Sawla line to become

     Bui- Teselima - Sawla

66.2 km Bui – Kintampo Transmission Line

168.9 km Bui – Kenyase Transmission Line

In January 2010, a scoping Report was submitted to the EPA. Following this, the preparation of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is underway for the issuance of an Environmental Permit prior to commence the construction of the transmission lines. BPA has completed the consultations with traditional authorities in all the communities along the  Teselima, Kintampo and Kenyase transmission line routes. Also, nine Municipals and District Assemblies where the line routes traverse have duly been consulted.

Other stakeholders including the Ministry of Energy, EPA, GRIDCo and the Forestry Commission have made inputs into the Study.
