Much of that electricity was generated by the Akosombo and Kpong dams on the Volta River, but relying on hydroelectric power made Ghana susceptible to climate fluctuations that affect water levels.
BISMARK ADAMAFIO ARYEE That year led him to realize that Ghana desperately needed a more robust power supply if it was going to industrialize and expand economic opportunity for its citizens.
By 2007, he had founded Genser Power Ghana (a partner to Colombia’s Genser Power), a company committed to providing efficient and reliable power systems—fueled initially by natural gas and eventually by sustainable sources—throughout Ghana.
These modules can be stacked and adapted as needed to build 30-, 60-, or 120-megawatt power generation systems.
This approach also makes it possible to offer smaller, incremental contracts in place of massive one-size-fits-all power deals, ultimately benefiting both Genser and the emerging economies it serves.
