This Is Serious, Ghana Wants To Export Electricity to Nigeria.

 Ghanaian president John Mahama, said that there are plans by his govt to start exporting electricity generated in Ghana to Nigeria and other West African countries. He said this while speaking at the Global Business and Economic Forum in Dubai yesterday October 1st,
"We have given priority to electricity generation in our country.
We have prioritized energy in such a way that we want to become the hub for power production in West Africa. We want to generate electricity to the point that excess power can be exported to Nigeria, Ivory Coast and other countries that have power deficit,” he said.
He said to achieve this, his country secured export-import financing from China and also got special funds from Abu Dhabi to commence series of power generation projects. He added that development of a third hydropower dam was already at an advanced stage in Ghana.
