Background
In May 2014, General Electric (GE), Endeavor Energy and Finagestion signed an agreement to build the plant[6] .
In 2015, GE announced the Ghana 1000 Power Project.[7]
The project will include gas infrastructure as well:
- "The Project will include a combined cycle gas turbine power plant (CCGT), liquified natural gas import infrastructure in the form of a floating storage and regasification unit (“FSRU”) and gas pipeline from the FSRU to the power plant."[8]
According to Endeavor Energy:
- "Ghana 1000 is in an advanced stage of development having completed negotiations and initialed its power purchase agreement with ECG, received PURC approval of its power tariff, secured its site, obtained an approved Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, and is prepared to enter into an EPC contract with a globally reputable firm having completed its EPC tender process."[9]
In March 2017, Interfax Natural Gas Daily reported that the project would be delayed until at least 2018.[10] Later in 2017, the news outlet reported the Ghanaian government might refuse to approve the project because the amount of power would exceed Ghana's grid capacity.[11]
In early 2019, the project was still stalled.[12]
In 2021, it isn't mentioned in Endeavor Energy's project list on their website, and it is assumed to be cancelled.[13]
As of June 2022 the plants still appears canceled.
