Addah, the project will start at the beginning of August but will be preceded with an official ground breaking ceremony on August 24th.He disclosed that the Chinese government is providing $562m while the Ghanaian government is providing $60m counterpart funding for the project.The energy crisis he warned, has only eased, but not entirely resolved.He however, was quick to add that the government is making efforts to increase the capacity of the national grid to produce more power.
