The Director General of Société Nationale d’électricité du Burkina Faso, (SONABEL), led a delegation for an operational visit to the 330/225kV Nayagnia Substation, Navrongo in the Upper East Region. The objective was to catch up on the progress of work on the installation of the phase shifting transformer.
Ing. Lawrence Yeboah, Area Manager, Bolga Operational Area and some members of the Area team met the delegation on arrival.
The SONABEL Delegation was briefed about the progress of the ongoing installation of the phase shifting transformer. Works on the installation are projected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Once commissioned, the phase shifting transformer is expected to improve capacity, deliver improved supply reliability and reduce trips on the 330/225kV transmission line to Burkina.
The visit to Nayagnia constituted the first part of the SONABEL Delegation’s working visit to Ghana.
