The country would by the middle of next year add 155 megawatts of power to the national grid in a bid to  improve Ghana's energy stock.

It will be the biggest solar project in Africa when completed.

This was disclosed by managers of a solar  facility, Mere Power Nzema, at a workshop in Accra, Friday.

The Mere Power Nzema with its parent company in UK, Blue  Energy are to begin the construction of the solar plant from  September this year.

"Investing in Ghana is an interesting opportunity primarily because government has shown ready support for the growth of renewable energy.

"The put laws and procedures in place to support it. There is an open and transparent regulatory regime which investors can understand and recognise," he said.

Blue  Energy a UK based  renewable company say they are hoping to spend 350  million dollars on the project. According to the company this would be the biggest solar project in Africa.
