Ayitepa wind farm is a wind farm in pre-construction in Ningo-Prampram District, Greater Accra Region, Ghana.
The project site is located in a very sparsely populated area in the Ningo-Prampram District, around 50 - 60 km east of Accra, between the Accra-Aflao-Road in the north and the Gulf of Guinea in the south.
Increased supply of power will facilitate industrial development and poverty reduction. The Project will play a major role in establishing wind power in West Africa and stimulating further investment in the
Ayitepa Wind Farm is a 225MW onshore wind power project. It is planned in Greater Accra, Ghana. According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants
The results showed that wind turbines ranging from 1 MW to 1.5 MW are suitable for the study site. Also, developing a 10 MW wind power plant would generate about 93 GWh of electricity
Coastal Ghana has mean annual wind speeds of 6-7 m/s at 50m above the ground, at speeds long considered commercially viable for power generation (Renewable Energy Authority of
Seven wind power classifications, based on ranges of wind power density, were used for the Ghana map. Each of the classifications was qualitatively defined for utility-scale applications (poor to excellent).
Construction will start soon, meaning that first wind turbines will deliver energy to the grid in 2024/2025. The project site is located in a very sparsely populated area in the Ningo-Prampram District, around
With up to 60 wind turbines and a planned capacity of up to 250 MW, the park will not only be one of the first wind parks in Ghana, but also one of the biggest parks in the whole African continent.
