Aksa Energy's Kumasi Power Plant in Ghana Reaches 130 MW Installed Capacity in Simple Cycle  

The first phase of Aksa Energy's Kumasi Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant in Ghana, with a capacity of 179 MW, has reached 130 MW installed capacity in simple cycle. The two-phase power plant will have a total installed capacity of 350 MW and will contribute to energy supply security in Ghana.

Aksa Energy, which operates 11 power plants in 7 countries with an installed capacity exceeding 3,000 MW, has passed another important milestone in its Kumasi Power Plant investment in Ghana. The power plant, which began partial commercial production in December 2025 as part of the first phase works, has reached an installed capacity of 130 MW in simple cycle mode.

The Kumasi Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant, designed with a total installed capacity of 350 MW, is expected to be commissioned in combined cycle mode with a capacity of 179 MW in the first quarter of 2026. The plant will provide a long-term and sustainable solution to Ghana's growing electricity demand.

Cemil Kazancı, Chairman and CEO of Aksa Energy, commented on the development: "Reaching 130 MW of installed capacity at our Kumasi plant in Ghana following partial commercial production demonstrates that this strategic investment is progressing as planned and with high operational discipline.

As Aksa Energy, we develop infrastructure that strengthens energy supply security, creates long-term economic value, and contributes to grid stability in the countries where we operate. This step we have taken in Ghana demonstrates the success of our integrated investment and operation model in the field.
