Some weeks ago, the boundary demarcation work for the 200 MW Konikablo Wind Farm has started with the aim of setting out the project perimeter in the field, so that it is clearly marked and visible. On top of each pillar is a flag with the logo of Upwind Konikablo Ltd. mounted.
On Monday, 24th June 2019, two community engagement events took place in relation to the development of our 200 MW Konikablo Wind Farm, one in Koni and a second one at Kablo. More than 80 persons showed up in total to be informed on the progress of the project in their neighbourhood. The project developers, NEK Umwelttechnik AG and Upwind Konikablo Ltd., presented the current state, the benefits of the planned wind farm for the involved communities and local population and answered also the questions coming from the attendees.
On 7th of June 2019, a 3-unit classroom block of the Hearts of the Father Outreach was commissioned by the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Ningo-Prampram District Assembly, Hon. Jonathan Teye Doku. The construction of the building was initiated by the DCE in the year 2018 and sponsored by ENERCON GmbH and NEK Umwelttechnik AG.
Since our last newsletter in March this year, a lot of things have happened. The development of the Konikablo Wind Farm has made some important progress.
On 7th of May 2019, a workshop under the leadership of Upwind Konikablo Ltd. between ENERCON, NEK and GRIDCo took place in Accra. Technical aspects of how to integrate the planned 200 MW Konikablo Wind Farm into the existing grid of GRIDCo were discussed, among others.
In recent weeks, two 125 m high wind measuring masts have been installed on the site of the future Konikablo Wind Farm in Ghana. The meteorological data are transmitted since mid-March 2019.
