As part of its broader commitment to national development beyond power generation, Bui Power Authority hosted a technical delegation led by Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, Director of the President’s Initiative on Agriculture and Agribusiness (PIAA), during a working visit to the Bui Generating Station on 15 April 2026.
The visit followed earlier engagements with the Authority and forms part of ongoing efforts to operationalise the Bui Agro-Economic Enclave Initiative under the Bui City Development Agenda—an ambitious vision that positions the Bui enclave as an integrated hub for energy, agriculture, industry, tourism, and sustainable economic growth.
During the visit, the delegation toured key strategic sites within the enclave, including Leyaata Hospital’s agricultural facilities, the Branam State Farm, the Bui Sugarcane and Cashew factories, and the Bui National Park. Discussions focused on expanding agricultural production, strengthening agro-processing capacity, creating jobs, and embedding environmental sustainability and ecotourism into long-term development plans.
A key highlight of the engagement was the recognition of the central role of reliable power supply in driving agro-industrial transformation. Bui Power Authority reaffirmed its readiness to provide dependable energy infrastructure to support investment, processing, irrigation, manufacturing, and enterprise growth across the enclave.
The Authority views the initiative as a practical demonstration of how strategic national assets can catalyse inclusive development, transforming Bui into a model for integrated economic growth in Ghana.
Dr. Otokunor commended ongoing initiatives at Bui and reiterated government’s commitment to agribusiness development through stronger collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders.
