A delegation from Enclave Power has undertaken a study tour of the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) Pokuase Substation in Accra as part of efforts to enhance operational efficiency within its electricity distribution network.
The delegation, led by General Manager of Enclave Power, Ing. Matthew Seddoh Akatey, engaged with engineers and technical personnel managing the substation to gain deeper insights into its operational systems and performance.
The visit formed part of Enclave Power’s ongoing efforts to strengthen technical capacity and improve the management of critical infrastructure serving customers within the Free Zones Enclave.
Officials from both organisations used the engagement to exchange knowledge and discuss operational experiences relating to power transmission and transformer performance.
“A delegation from Enclave Power (a power distribution company serving the Free Zone Enclave) led by its General Manager, Ing. Matthew Seddoh Akatey has held a technical engagement with the team managing the GRIDCo Pokuase Substation in Accra. The GRIDCo technical team led by Ing. Daniel Laryea Annan together with Assistant Chief Technician Engineer, Mr. Michael Koranteng provided insight to the Enclave Power delegation about the operational set up of Pokuase Substation.”

A key objective of the study tour was to understand the performance parameters of 330/34.5 kV transformers operating within the GRIDCo network.
According to officials, the engagement provided an opportunity for the Enclave Power team to gain practical insights into the operation, monitoring and management of high-voltage transformer systems.
The knowledge acquired is expected to support decision-making and operational planning within Enclave Power’s electricity distribution network.
Technical Knowledge Exchange
The GRIDCo technical team was led by Ing. Daniel Laryea Annan, who, together with Assistant Chief Technician Engineer, Mr. Michael Koranteng, provided detailed presentations on the operational setup of the Pokuase Substation.
The discussions covered key aspects of substation management, equipment performance and operational procedures that contribute to the reliability of electricity transmission within the national grid.
The engagement also provided a platform for both organisations to exchange experiences and explore best practices in network operations and asset management.
As electricity demand continues to grow, utilities are increasingly prioritising technical collaboration and knowledge-sharing to improve system performance and reliability.
For Enclave Power, the insights gathered during the study tour are expected to contribute to efforts aimed at optimising transformer operations and enhancing service delivery within its network.
The visit also highlights the importance of collaboration between power sector institutions in promoting operational excellence and strengthening the performance of Ghana’s electricity infrastructure.
Supporting Reliable Power Supply
Industry stakeholders continue to emphasise the role of technical capacity development in ensuring efficient and reliable electricity supply across the country.
By engaging directly with GRIDCo’s technical experts, Enclave Power is expected to leverage lessons from the Pokuase Substation to strengthen its operations and improve network efficiency.
The study tour reflects a broader commitment within the power sector to continuous learning, innovation and the adoption of best practices that support a more resilient electricity system.
