The Bui Hydroelectric Power Station, located on the Black Volta River in Ghana, a country in West Africa, has a total installed capacity of 404 megawatts.
The power station consists of a roller-compacted concrete main dam, a clay-core rockfill dam, a homogeneous earth dam, a 240.74-kilometer transmission line, and a substation, as well as a permanent downstream bridge. The dam's maximum height is 108 meters.
POWERCHINA officially launched construction on the project on December 2, 2008, and completed it on November 27, 2014.
The Bui Hydroelectric Power Station is a significant achievement in Sino-Ghana cooperation. It can generate 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, providing a substantial amount of clean and stable energy to Ghana's power grid, effectively alleviating the country's power shortages.
