The Akosombo Dam, also known as the Akosombo Hydroelectric Project, is a hydroelectric dam on the Volta River in southeastern Ghana in the Akosombo gorge and part of the Volta River Authority. The construction of the dam flooded part of the Volta River Basin, and led to the subsequent creation of Lake Volta. Lake Volta is the largest man-made lake in the world by surface area. It covers 8,502 square kilometres (3,283sqmi), which is 3.6% of Ghana's land area. With a volume of 148 cubic kilometers Lake Volta is the world's third largest man-made lake by volume, the largest being Lake Kariba which is located between Zimbabwe and Zambia in Southern Africa and contains 185 cubic kilometers of water.
The primary purpose of the Akosombo Dam was to provide electricity for the aluminium industry. The Akosombo Dam was called "the largest single investment in the economic development plans of Ghana." Its original electrical output was 912 megawatts (1,223,000hp), which was upgraded to 1,020 megawatts (1,370,000hp) in a retrofit project that was completed in 2006.
Akosombo Dam Of The Volta Region In Ghana - Africa
Before we left the Volta Region of Ghana, we wanted to see one last thing, the famous Akosombo Dam. A huge mega project which transformed the enter Eastern Region of Ghana. It's highly controversial, so we were kind of surprised that the dam company was actually giving tours.
All the conflict aside, it was a very interesting tour and we loved that we were able to get up close, walking on top of the dam wall. It was amazing to see on the one side the huge dam lake (which is visible from space) and on the other side the dam wall and the turbine, releasing water down to the valley.
We actually had planned to take an overnight ferry on the dam lake going up north, this is probably one of the most adventurous things you can do while visiting Ghana. But we ran out of time, not even 91 Days ar...

Bui Dam in Ghana
The Bui Dam is a 400-megawatt (540,000 hp) hydroelectric project in Ghana. It is built on the Black Volta river at the Bui Gorge, at the southern end of Bui National Park. The project is a collaboration between the government of Ghana and Sino Hydro, a Chinese construction company. Construction on the main dam began in December 2009. Its first generator was commissioned on 3 May 2013,and the dam was inaugurated in December of the same year.
Bui will be the second largest hydroelectric generating plant in the country after the Akosombo Dam. The reservoir flooded about 20% of the Bui National Park and impacts the habitats for the rare black hippopotamus as well as a large number of wildlife species. It required the resettlement of 1,216 people,[6] and affected many more.

Uncover the Volta River Authority (VRA) AKOSOMBO DAM on VOLTA RIVER - Akosombo hydroelectric plant!
In this video, I'm telling the story of the Volta River Authority (VRA) project, the Akosombo dam, which was built on the Volta River in Akosombo Ghana, and is one of the largest hydropower projects in the world.
The Akosombo dam in Ghana has been generating electricity for Ghana and its neighbouring countries since its inception and has improved the Ghanaian economy and the lives of the people in the Volta River basin, with the Akosombo hydroelectric plant operated by the volta river authority ghana.
This is your top channel if you're interested in learning more about the VRA, akosombo dam ghana case study, or Ghanaian infrastructure projects, be sure to watch this video! It'll give you a better understanding of the work the VRA has done and the importance of their projects.

AKOSOMBO DAM - How Ghana solved her Electricity Problem
The Akosombo Dam is a hydroelectric dam located in southeastern Ghana, on the Volta River. The dam was constructed between 1961 and 1965 by the Volta River Authority (VRA), with assistance from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The main purpose of the Akosombo Dam is to generate electricity, which has been critical for Ghana's economic development. The dam has an installed capacity of 1,020 megawatts, which accounts for more than 70% of Ghana's total electricity supply. The dam provides electricity to industries, homes, and public institutions across Ghana, and also exports power to neighboring countries such as Togo and Benin.

The Akosombo Dam is a hydroelectric dam located in southeastern Ghana, on the Volta River. The dam was constructed between 1961 and 1965 by the Volta River Authority (VRA), with assistance from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The main purpose of the Akosombo Dam is to generate electricity, which has been critical for Ghana's economic development. The dam has an installed capacity of 1,020 megawatts, which accounts for more than 70% of Ghana's total electricity supply. The dam provides electricity to industries, homes, and public institutions across Ghana, and also exports power to neighboring countries such as Togo and Benin.
The construction of the dam and the creation of Lake Volta, the largest artificial lake in the world, had significant environmental and social impacts. The flooding of the Volta River valley led to the displacement of thousands of people and the loss of farmland, forests, and cultural heritage. The lake also created new opportunities for fishing, transportation, and irrigation, but has also faced challenges such as pollution, overfishing, and the use of child labor in the fishing industry.
Despite these challenges, the Akosombo Dam remains a key contributor to Ghana's energy sector and its economic growth. The Volta River Authority is currently exploring options to expand the dam's capacity and to develop additional hydropower projects on the Volta River.
