My Dear Colleagues,

It is the 16th anniversary of our beloved Ghana Grid Company LTD. (GRIDCo). It has been 16 years of being the “Backbone to Power Delivery” not just in Ghana, but within the sub-region. Since inception on August 1, 2008, GRIDCo has played a crucial role in the energy value chain, making it a valued and respected Ghanaian utility company. As Chief Executive, I am filled with immense honour and gratitude to the Board, Management, and staff (both past and present) for the impact GRIDCo has delivered over the years.

I acknowledge our dedicated in-house engineering and technical professionals who are at the core of GRIDCo’s project delivery and operations; our committed non-technical professional staff whose skills, and innovation play a vital role in our organisation and have brought GRIDCo thus far. Together, we have achieved remarkable feats, and together, we will continue to drive GRIDCo to greater heights.

This year has seen some financial limitations which have impacted our Company, limiting our ability to undertake some key projects and activities. Inspite of these financial constraints, GRIDCo continues to meet its Regulatory, Operations & Maintenance, Human Resource and Corporate obligations.

Nonetheless, GRIDCo’s importance to the power sub-sector and the broader energy value chain cannot be overstated. This year electricity access is estimated at 88.9%, improving the quality of life for all Ghanaians, supporting economic growth and industrial development, is all thanks in part to GRIDCo’s role in the value chain. The Board and Management are aware of GRIDCo’s responsibility in guaranteeing stable and efficient power supply. We have done well with your support and reiterate our commitment to ensure reliable electricity in the country.

The GRIDCo brand is synonymous with its core values of R.I.S.E & Care. Our brand represents our collective efforts and the trust stakeholders have placed in us. As we celebrate this 16th Anniversary milestone, I urge you all to continue to uphold GRIDCo’s strong reputation by adhering to the highest standards of professionalism and service delivery.

To conclude, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to each staff for your contributions to GRIDCo’s journey. Thank you once again, let us embrace the opportunities of the present, and look forward to a future filled with promise and possibility.

Happy 16th Anniversary, GRIDCo!

Ing. Ebenezer Kofi Essienyi
