The Volta River Authority (VRA) has initiated controlled spillage at the Akosombo and Kpong Dams, effective from Friday, September 15, 2023.
This decision has been made in response to the consistent increase in the lake level, attributed to high inflows, as confirmed by Ing. Edward Obeng Kenzo, Deputy Chief Executive of E&O.
Ing. Kenzo acknowledged the heavy rainfall occurring nationwide, leading to localized flooding and elevated water levels in certain communities.
In light of these circumstances, VRA is implementing controlled spillage as a precautionary measure to mitigate potential adverse effects.
He assured that VRA will continuously monitor the situation and provide updates to the public as needed.
