The Volta River Authority (VRA) has begun an ambitious move to drive down the cost of power in the country through innovation and digitisation, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the authority, Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa, has said.
The move, he said, would help boost economic activities and ensure the competitiveness of Ghanaian businesses.
“Innovation and digitisation will be the major enablers of the business, so we are preparing ourselves for the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technology advancements that will manifest globally,” he said.
Digitisation, he said, would facilitate the integration of the other sources of clean energy into Ghana’s power generation mix and help the VRA better monitor and maintain its generation assets for improved, stable and reliable power operations.
