In Ghana, Armech Africa Limited, a designer and manufacturer of modern industrial processes announced it will construct in Tema, a power plant that will generate 60 MW through the incineration of 3, 000 metric tons of waste produced daily in Accra. This, through a technology known as energy recovery (Waste-to-energy W2E).
Estimated at $300 million, the plant will be financed by the Armech Group via the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, without any sovereign guarantee from the Ghanaian government.
In addition, Energy China, one of the world's largest suppliers of electrical solutions, will be charged to construct the facility.
In this framework, Armech Africa Ltd., a subsidiary of the Indian group Armech, established a public-private partnership with the country’s national power utility. The energy generated will, therefore, be sold to the State and will be distributed through the national grid. Although Armech did not announce the plant's production start date, it specified that it will generate 1,500 both direct and indirect jobs, increase access to green electricity and reduce local residents’ exposure to environmental risks and air pollution.
