Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson has commended Karpowership Ghana for its contribution to the country’s electricity generation and efforts to support the stability of the national grid.
The Minister was speaking during a working visit to the company’s floating power generation facility, the Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan, in Takoradi.
The visit offered the Minister and his delegation an opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the operations of the Powership and the role Karpowership continues to play in supporting Ghana’s power supply.
During a guided tour of the facility, the delegation was taken through various aspects of the vessel’s operations, including the technology, processes and expertise that underpin its electricity generation activities.
The Minister also engaged management on the company’s operations in the Western Region and its broader impact on the communities within which it operates.
Speaking after the tour, Hon. Nelson praised the company’s operational standards and highlighted the importance of dependable power generation to Ghana’s socio-economic development.
“Karpowership’s operations demonstrate the important role that reliable and efficient power generation plays in supporting Ghana’s economic development. We are pleased to see the level of professionalism and operational standards being maintained at the facility, as well as the company’s contribution to the power sector and its engagements within the Western Region,” he said.
The Minister noted that reliable electricity remains critical to industrial growth, business expansion and overall national development, making partnerships between government and private sector energy providers increasingly important.
As part of the visit, the delegation was also briefed on Karpowership Ghana’s corporate social responsibility initiatives in the Western Region.
These include interventions focused on education, youth empowerment, environmental sustainability and broader community support programmes aimed at enhancing livelihoods and creating long-term social impact.
The visit underscored the importance of collaboration between government, industry players and local stakeholders in driving development across the region while ensuring sustainable energy supply.
Commenting on the significance of the engagement, Corporate Communications Manager of Karpowership Ghana, Sandra Amarquaye, said the company remains committed to maintaining strong relationships with government and stakeholders.
“We are honoured to have welcomed the Western Regional Minister to our Powership and to have had the opportunity to demonstrate the work that goes into supporting Ghana’s power supply,” she said.

As a company, we remain committed to supplying reliable power to the national grid and supporting Ghana’s power generation needs.”
According to the company, the visit reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining constructive engagement with government, local authorities and key stakeholders while continuing to contribute to Ghana’s energy security.
