A
5 MW capacity power station built for the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority
was commissioned in September 2002 at the Kotoka International Airport
in Accra. The substation, which was designed by a team of Energy
Foundation and GHAESCO experts, supplies power to the refurbished
international terminal and the new domestic terminal at the airport.
This was the first of two substations that have been designed and
constructed at the Accra airport with technical support from the
Energy Foundation. The second power station was completed in 2003
and improves power supply to the technical department, control tower,
and the runway lighting system.
The
substations are equipped with state of the art power installations
with energy consumption monitoring facilities designed to assist
managers of the airport in managing energy consumption in the facility.
The system enables the tracking and measurement of energy consumption
at each section of the airport building.
On
the recommendations of the Foundation, the terminal buildings are
fitted with state of the art energy saving lighting systems. The
Energy Foundation is indeed proud to be part of this landmark gateway
project.
