Fourteen communities in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai District will be connected to the national electricity grid by the end of this year.
Contracts for the project had already been awarded and work started.

The DCE said contract had also been signed for work to begin on the Awaso and Chirano Small Town Water Project under the European Union (EU) and the Department for International Development (DFID) funding.
He said with the support from Alcan and SNV mining companies’ social sustainable initiative, Awaso, Subri and Atonsu which are within the company’s catchment areas would benefit from a 12-seater KVIP and three classroom nursery school project each.
Mr. Adjei-Manu announced that the government had allocated 20,000 energy saving bulbs to be distributed to communities with electricity supply.
