“Like the other Substations which MiDA has constructed at Pokuase, Kasoa and at Legon, this US$14.49 million investment is a major contribution to Ghana’s Power Sector by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, an Agency of the US Government, to whom we shall remain forever grateful,” she said.
She stated that due to recent challenges on the global scenes, the construction of the Substation also faced its share of logistical and schedule challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Touching on the contribution of Ellen Kavanagh Moran during the implementation of the Power Compact with Ghana, Prof. Ntiamoa-Baidu said the commitment of the staff of the MCC is unmatched.
“The significant contribution made by our MCC Technical Colleagues, and in particular the sterling role played by a remarkable lady, a member of MCC’s Technical Team on the Ghana Compacts, since Ghana was selected as a beneficiary of the Millennium Challenge Account Programme some 16 years ago is amazing,” she said.
“I am referring to none other than Ellen Kavanagh Moran. MiDA has recognized Ellen’s love for Ghana and unique contribution to MiDA’s numerous successes, and has consequently decided to honor her by naming this Substation after her,” she added.
